Chapter 44: Wood and articles of wood

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 441113 when importing or exporting medium density fibreboard (MDF) with a thickness between 5 mm and 9 mm. This includes products like MDF boards used in furniture or cabinetry.

This code specifically covers MDF that is thicker than 5 mm but not exceeding 9 mm, distinguishing it from HS-6 441112, which pertains to thinner MDF. If your product falls within this thickness range, this is the correct classification.

MDF is commonly used in construction and furniture making due to its smooth surface and ease of machining. If you're dealing with MDF panels for interior applications, ensure they meet this thickness requirement.

When classifying MDF, consider the end-use and the manufacturing process. Products bonded with resins or other organic substances also fall under this code, making it essential to verify the composition.
