Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If surface-covered by lamination or overlay
Surface-covered MDF shifts to 4411.93 as it no longer qualifies as 'not surface-covered'
If in pellet form from MDF production waste
Wood pellets from processing waste agglomerated with minimal binder fall under fuel pellets in Chapter 44 heading 4401
If density <0.45 g/cm³
Lower density fiberboard classifies as plywood-type particle board under 4412 rather than MDF

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify density between 0.45-0.80 g/cm³ and thickness >9mm via lab testing; provide mill test certificates showing no surface coverings beyond oil
• Watch for misclassification as particleboard if chip content exceeds limits
