12mm Thick MDF Sheet
Medium density fiberboard (MDF) panel measuring 6 feet by 4 feet with thickness of 12mm, made from wood fibers bonded with resins. Classified under HTS 4411.13.90.90 as MDF exceeding 5mm but not exceeding 9mm is a misnomer; this thick variant falls in 'Other' due to specific thickness criteria in the hierarchy, but actually exceeds 9mm so properly 4411.13 but detailed as other. Used for furniture and cabinetry construction.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness exceeds 9mm
MDF thicker than 9mm shifts to 4411.14 subheading while remaining medium density fiberboard.
If density qualifies as low density fiberboard
Lower density (<0.45 g/cm³) changes classification from medium to other density fiberboards.
If processed with surface coating or laminating
Plywood/veneered panels with fiberboard core but added surface treatments fall under Chapter 44 heading 4412.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact thickness measurement as classifications split at 5mm and 9mm thresholds; provide caliper certifications
• Include mill test reports confirming density between 0.45-0.80 g/cm³ and resin content for Customs verification
• Avoid misclassification as particleboard (4411.11) by demonstrating uniform fiber structure via samples
