I was checking this indeed and the tariff code of these products indeed prohibit the import of these wood pellets. Didn't find a single country that allows them.

Forest advocates in Asia, Europe and the United States are livid at South Korea's actions, noting that Russian imports now make up 15% of South Korea's total wood pellet supply.
Rita Frost, an international forest advocate with the North Carolina NGO Dogwood Alliance, told Mongabay: "South Korea's growing wood pellet demand is already destroying forests and harming communities here in the Southern U.S. It seems [now] to have gotten even more controversial: While the rest of the world is boycotting Russian wood pellets, South Korea is increasing its imports - all in the name of a false solution to climate change."
Online reports in late December documented how the EU appears to be offsetting its loss of Russian wood pellets due to sanctions by increasing pellet imports from the U.S. and Eastern Europe.

That, plus it is a way to use 100% of the waste caused in the production of lumber.
Plus, burning wood is almost carbon neutral, as long as there is a system put in place to plant and manage replacement trees for consumption.
