High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) Raw Panel

A raw high-density fiberboard panel made from wood fibers bonded with resins, with a density exceeding 0.8 g/cm³. It is not mechanically worked beyond basic formation and has no surface covering, classifying it under HTS 4411.92.10.00 as other fiberboard of high density in its unprocessed state.

Alternative Classifications

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

4411.92.20.00Same rate: 35%

If mechanically worked or surface-covered

Any sanding, planing, or application of laminates moves it to the worked category in the same density subheading.

4411.93Lower: 13.9% vs 35%

If density between 0.5-0.8 g/cm³

Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) falls under lower density subheading regardless of processing state.

4401Lower: 10% vs 35%

If imported as fuel pellets rather than panels

Agglomerated wood waste in pellet form for energy use classifies under wood waste chapter.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify density certification exceeds 0.8 g/cm³ with lab reports to confirm subheading eligibility

Ensure no mechanical working like sanding or surface coatings; document production process for Customs

Declare as 'not surface-covered' explicitly; common pitfall is shipping with protective films mistaken for coverings
