WOOD AND ARTICLES OF WOOD; WOOD CHARCOAL4401 Fuel wood, in logs, in billets, in twigs, in faggots or in similar forms; wood in chips or particles; saw-dust and wood waste and scrap, whether or not agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similarforms
4401 10 00 Fuel wood, in logs, in billets, in twigs, in faggots or in similar forms
No limiting size has been assigned to logs and billets which are to be regarded as fuel wood. It is the condition of the woodand its mode of presentation which distinguishes it from wood falling within heading No 4403 (see the HS Explanatory Notes to heading No 4401, exclusion (b)).This subheading does not include sawdust, wood waste or scrap, even when these are clearly for use as fuel (subheading4401 30 10 or 4401 30 90).
4401 21 00and4401 22 00Wood in chips or particles
See Notes 1 (a) and 1 (c) to this chapter and the HS Explanatory Notes to heading No 4401, first paragraph, (B).
4401 30 10and4401 30 90Sawdust and wood waste and scrap, whether or not agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms
See Notes 1 (a) and 1 (c) to this chapter.These subheadings do not include wood flour as defined in Additional Note 1 to this chapter (heading No 4405 00 00)
4403 Wood in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared
4403 10 00 Treated with paint, stains, creosote or other preservatives
See the HS Explanatory Notes to subheading 4403 10.The injection and impregnation of wood are treatments, to preserve the wood better (for durability) or to endow it withcertain special properties (e.g., to make it fire-resistant or to protect it from the effects of shrinkage). The injection orimpregnation treatment serves to ensure the long-term preservation for example of the poles of coniferous wood.This treatment involves either soaking for long periods in open vats of hot liquid, the poles being left in the liquid until itcools down, or treatment in an autoclave through the action of a vacuum or pressure.Among the products used are organic products such as creosote, dinitrophenols and dinitrocresols.Painted or varnished poles of wood also fall within this subheading.

4403 49 20 Okoumé
Okoumé is obtained almost exclusively from the forests of Gabon. This wood is soft and salmon-pink in colour with afibrous texture and an irregular grain, slightly resembling mahogany but much lighter in colour. The tree yields well-formedcylindrical logs admirably suited for slicing and peeling and is chiefly used in the manufacture of veneer sheet.
4403 99 10 Of poplar
This subheading covers all species of the genus
Populus
.Poplar wood is pale in colour, light and very soft. It is used in joinery (interiors of furniture, packing cases) and for makingplywood. After the conifers, it is the principal source of cellulose for paper pulp.
4404 Hoopwood; split poles; piles, pickets and stakes of wood, pointed but not sawn lengthwise; woodensticks, roughly trimmed but not turned, bent or otherwise worked, suitable for the manufacture of walking-sticks, umbrellas, tool handles or the like; chipwood and the like
Chipwood and the like mainly differs from the veneer sheet of heading No 4408 by its smaller size and the type of woodused (normally the common softer woods).
4404 20 00 Non-coniferous
This subheading includes wood shavings which resemble coiled chipwood (usually of beech or hazel) used in the manufac-ture of vinegar or the clarification of other liquids.
4405 00 00 Wood wool; wood flour
For the definition of the term ‘wood flour’ see Additional Note 1 to this chapter.

4407 10 91to4407 10 98Other
These subheadings do not include complete sets of boards of sawn, sliced or peeled wood of a thickness exceeding 6 mmintended for use in making packing cases or crates. Such sets of boards fall within heading No 4415, whether or not certainaccessories such as corner or foot reinforcements are included. See also the Explanatory Notes to heading No 4415.
