Analysis
Heading 4401 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers fuel wood, in logs, in billets, in twigs, in faggots or in similar forms; wood in chips or particles; sawdust and wood waste and scrap, whether or not agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms. It divides into 9 six-digit subheadings and 10 eight-digit tariff lines, with 13 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 10 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The largest subheadings are 4401.39 (other, 2 lines), 4401.11 (unnamed, 1 line), 4401.12 (unnamed, 1 line) and 4401.21 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 30th percentile of the headings in chapter 44.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Miscellaneous Wood Product Manufacturing (321999), Logging (113310) and Sawmills (321113). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
