Chapter 68: Articles of stone, plaster, cement
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6808 when importing products like panels or boards made from wood waste, such as sawdust or shavings, that are agglomerated with cement or plaster. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of engineered wood panels used in construction, this is the relevant code.
When deciding between HS-6 680800 and other codes, consider the composition of your product. If your item is primarily made from vegetable fibers or wood waste bound with mineral materials, it fits under 680800. Ensure your product does not fall into categories for other materials like pure wood or non-wood composites.
If your product includes additives or is manufactured differently, it may not qualify under HS-4 6808. For instance, products that are primarily made of solid wood rather than agglomerated materials would require a different classification. Always check the specific material composition to ensure correct classification.
