Last updated: August 2026 dataTraded primarily for residential heating and biomass energy generation, fuel wood in logs, billets, twigs, and faggots is classified separately from wood waste and residues, which have their own heading. Moisture content (green vs. seasoned vs. kiln-dried) is the dominant quality variable affecting BTU value and buyer acceptance, and many commercial contracts specify maximum moisture thresholds. USDA APHIS regulates the importation of wood with bark, and certain origins require heat treatment or debarking to mitigate invasive pest risk before entry into the United States.

USDA APHIS imposes phytosanitary conditions on bark-on wood to prevent introduction of invasive wood-boring insects and pathogens. Depending on origin and species, requirements may include debarking, heat treatment to specified core temperatures, or a phytosanitary certificate. Importers should consult current APHIS regulations and any applicable federal orders before arranging shipment.
Moisture content directly determines energy density: kiln-dried wood (typically under 20% moisture) commands premium pricing over green or air-dried wood. While moisture content does not change the tariff classification, purchase contracts routinely specify moisture limits, and loads exceeding agreed thresholds may be subject to price adjustments or rejection at destination.
