Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) Tongue and Groove Wall Panels from China

These are fiberboard panels made from wood fibers bonded with resins, with a density between 0.5 and 0.8 g/cm³. They feature continuous tongue, groove, or rabbet edges along all sides, specifically designed and dedicated for constructing interior walls in residential and commercial buildings. This classification under 4411.93.30.00 applies due to the precise density range and edge profiling for building applications.

Import Tips

Verify density certification between 0.5-0.8 g/cm³ with lab test reports to avoid reclassification to lower density subheadings

Provide documentation proving panels are dedicated for building walls/ceilings, such as architectural specs or end-user declarations

Ensure edge treatments (tongue, groove, rabbet) are continuous along edges; partial profiling may shift to 4411.93.40.00
