HS Code 4401.39 – Wood; for fuel, sawdust and wood waste and scrap, agglomerated in logs or similar forms, other than wood pellets or wood briquettes
HS code 4401.39 is the 6-digit subheading for wood, for fuel, sawdust and wood waste and scrap, agglomerated in logs or similar forms, other than wood pellets or wood briquettes. It is used for compressed sawdust logs, manufactured fire logs, recycled wood fuel logs, eco-friendly fireplace logs and engineered wood logs.
What HS 4401.39 covers
This category captures agglomerated fuel wood made from sawdust, wood waste, and scrap, specifically in forms resembling traditional logs or other shapes that are neither pellets nor briquettes. These products offer a convenient and often more efficient alternative to natural firewood, providing consistent burn times and higher energy density due to compression. They cater to consumers seeking manufactured fuel options for fireplaces and wood stoves, often marketed for their ease of use and environmental benefits from waste utilization. Trade involves manufacturers converting wood by-products into marketable fuel, with an emphasis on sustainable waste management. Adherence to environmental regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and EU Timber Regulation (EUTR) is crucial for market access.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
