What changed?
The updated ex 4401 entry excludes qualifying waste and certain single-use packing material used solely to support, protect or carry another product presented with that product.
Why classification is not enough
The physical form and use of the wood material can affect whether the Annex I entry applies.
Important: This is a screening page, not a customs-classification ruling. Confirm the exact current Annex I wording and your product classification before relying on the result.
What to do next
- Confirm the exact CN / HS classification.
- Check whether the current Annex I entry is direct or marked “ex”.
- Identify the relevant commodity and production origin.
- Collect geolocation and supplier evidence.
- Apply the applicable due-diligence workflow.
