Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the board has a density exceeding 0.8 g/cm³
Higher-density fiberboard may be classified under specific fiberboard headings rather than as 'other' particle board.
If the board is made of wood exclusively, not other ligneous materials
Wood-only particle board falls under the specific subheading for wood, not the 'other' category.
If the board is OSB or waferboard
Oriented strand board and waferboard have their own subheading, distinct from 'other' particle board.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the MDF board is not further worked beyond the shapes allowed in chapter note 4, as additional processing may change classification
• Verify the resin content and density to confirm it meets the definition of particle board
• Keep commercial invoices detailing the wood species and resin type for CBSA inspection
