More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If entire board qualifies as fiberboard >0.8 g/cm³
Full fiber construction without distinct particles classifies as MDF under heading 4411.
If with two or more tropical hardwood plies
Plywood assembly criteria override particle board if veneers dominate structure.
If articles with ceramic or glass surface work
Surface-worked with non-wood materials like glass shifts to Chapter 68 articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Disclose core vs surface composition in entry docs to prevent disputes over primary material
• Test total formaldehyde emissions across layers for unified TSCA compliance
• Mark panels 'handle with care' to protect pre-finished surfaces during unloading

Standard Pine Particle Board
Particle board made from pine wood particles agglomerated with resins, used primarily for furniture construction and interior paneling. It falls under HTS 4410.19.00 as it is neither oriented strand board (OSB) nor waferboard, but a standard particle board of wood. Typical thickness ranges from 9mm to 25mm for construction applications.
Birch Wood Chipboard
Chipboard produced from birch wood chips and flakes bound with urea-formaldehyde resin, commonly used for shelving and cabinet backs. Classified under HTS 4410.19.00 as 'other' particle board of wood, not meeting OSB or waferboard specifications. Available in standard sizes like 4x8 feet sheets.
Mixed Hardwood Particle Board
Particle board from mixed hardwood sawdust and shavings, agglomerated with synthetic resins for flat-pack furniture applications. HTS 4410.19.00 covers this as other wood-based particle board excluding OSB. Often finished with melamine laminate on one side.
Poplar Strawboard Particle Panel
Engineered board combining poplar wood particles with straw fibers, bound by resins for economical furniture core stock. Falls under HTS 4410.19.00 as other wood particle board per chapter notes including ligneous materials. Density typically 700 kg/m³.
