4411.92Lower: 16% vs 36.5%

If thickness exceeds 9mm

Thickness dimension shifts classification to the >9mm thickness subheading within other fiberboard.

4412.31Lower: 18% vs 36.5%

If presented as plywood rather than fiberboard

Plywood uses veneers in layers, not fiberboard's agglomerated wood fibers, changing the base material heading.
