Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4411.14Lower: 13.9% vs 35%

If density under 0.5 g/cm³ and wet processed

Low-density wet-process fiberboard uses different manufacturing, classified separately in 4411 from dry-process strand boards.

4410.11Lower: 10% vs 35%

If particle board with 5%+ resin by weight

Specific particle boards (not OSB/waferboard) with higher binder content have dedicated subheading 4410.11.
