Last updated: July 2026 dataNon-agglomerated wood waste and scrap — including loose wood shavings (4401490020) and other unprocessed residues (4401490090) — are industrial byproducts used in animal bedding, mulch, composite wood manufacturing, and biomass energy. Canada and France are the leading US import sources, with Mexico also supplying meaningful volumes. The heading's three 10-digit lines distinguish between wood shavings specifically and broader waste/scrap categories, so accurate classification requires attention to the physical form of the material; shavings produced by planing or milling operations should be declared under 4401490020 rather than the residual NESOI line.

434 shipments/mo
If a shipment contains distinct, separable quantities of wood shavings and other wood waste, each component should ideally be declared under its respective 10-digit line (4401490020 for shavings, 4401490090 for other waste). For inseparable mixed loads, classification is typically determined by the predominant material; consulting a licensed customs broker or requesting a CBP binding ruling is advisable for recurring mixed shipments.
Wood shavings imported for animal bedding are not subject to USDA FSIS oversight, but USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements may apply depending on the species and origin. Importers should also verify that the product is free of chemical treatments (such as kiln-drying agents or preservatives) that could be harmful to animals, as this may be required by buyers or end-use customers.
