Last updated: August 2026 dataSoftwood chips from species such as spruce, pine, and fir are a primary fiber input for kraft pulp mills and oriented strand board (OSB) production, making this heading central to the North American forest products supply chain. Canada is the dominant supplier to the US market, with cross-border trade facilitated by USMCA; chip quality is typically specified by species mix, bark content, and chip size distribution (screen analysis) rather than by grade designation. Importers should note that bark-on chips from certain origins may be subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements targeting invasive forest pests.

Pulp mills generally specify acceptable ranges for chip thickness (typically 2–8 mm for kraft pulping), oversize and fines fractions (via screen analysis), bark content (often under 1–2% by weight), and moisture content. Species mix matters as well, since different softwood species yield different pulp brightness and strength characteristics.
USDA APHIS may require phytosanitary documentation or inspection for wood chips, particularly those containing bark, to prevent introduction of invasive insects such as bark beetles. Requirements vary by country of origin and species; importers should verify current APHIS conditions before contracting shipments from new origins.
