HS-6 · Subheading
441194
Fibreboard (other than MDF) of a density not exceeding 0.5g/cm3, of wood or other ligneous materials, bonded or not with resins or other organic substances
Heading 4411 — Fibreboard of wood or other ligneous materials, whether or not bonded with resins or other organic substances
Chapter 44: Wood and articles of wood
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 441194 when importing or exporting low-density fibreboard made from wood or other ligneous materials, such as lightweight panels used in furniture or packaging. This code specifically applies to fibreboard with a density not exceeding 0.5g/cm3, which is often used in applications where weight is a concern.
This code is distinct from HS-6 441192, which covers medium-density fibreboard (MDF). While both are types of fibreboard, MDF has a higher density and is commonly used for cabinetry and detailed woodworking. Understanding the density is crucial for proper classification.
Fibreboard under this code can be bonded with resins or remain unbonded, making it versatile for various applications. Common examples include insulation panels, soundproofing materials, and lightweight structural components in construction.
When considering this HS-6, be aware of the specific density requirements and the materials used. If your product exceeds the density limit or is primarily made of other materials, you may need to look at different classifications.
