Plain 3/8-inch MDF Panel
Unfinished 3/8-inch (approx. 9.5mm, measured as 9mm) medium density fiberboard used in construction and shelving, composed of lignocellulosic fibers agglomerated with resins. Fits HTS 4411.13.60.00 due to its medium density, thickness range, and lack of surface covering beyond oil treatment. Commonly employed in speaker box construction and decorative moldings.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If particle board rather than fiberboard
Particleboard made from wood particles uses heading 4410, differentiated by manufacturing process and coarser texture.
If reconstructed wood decorative products
Assembled or profiled raw MDF into beams or strips may classify under 4418 for reconstructed wood assemblies.
If high-density fiberboard (HDF)
Higher density (>0.85 g/cm³) fiberboard falls under heading 4412 for HDF products.
