U.S. exports of nonconiferous wood in chips or particles (SITC 24615) totaled $3.8M in July 2026.
Importers of Nonconiferous Wood in Chips or Particles paid $72K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 6.1% on $1.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Nonconiferous Wood in Chips or Particles imports of $1.3M in July 2026 ran 184% above the year-to-date monthly average of $447K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataHardwood chips — derived from species such as eucalyptus, aspen, birch, and tropical hardwoods — are a key fiber source for hardwood kraft pulp, dissolving pulp, and certain engineered wood panels. Eucalyptus chips from South America are widely traded globally for their high pulp yield and short fiber characteristics suited to printing and tissue grades. Importers sourcing chips from tropical hardwood species must comply with the Lacey Act's plant-product declaration requirements, which mandate disclosure of genus, species, country of harvest, and quantity.

The Lacey Act requires importers to file a Plant and Plant Product declaration (PPQ Form 505) identifying the genus and species of the wood, the country where it was harvested, and the quantity. For mixed-species chip loads, this can be complex; importers should work with suppliers to obtain accurate species composition data and retain supporting documentation.
Hardwood species produce shorter, thinner fibers than softwoods, resulting in pulps with smoother sheet formation and better printability — properties valued in fine paper and tissue grades. Softwood long fibers, by contrast, contribute tensile strength and tear resistance. Many mills blend both to achieve target sheet properties, so chip origin and species mix directly affect pulp quality and mill economics.
