Alternative Classifications

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

4411.94.00Same rate: 35%

If density exceeds 0.5 g/cm³

Higher density fiberboard falls under the 'other' density category within the same 4411.94 structure.

4411.92Lower: 16% vs 35%

If density not exceeding 0.35 g/cm³

Lower density fiberboard is classified in the subheading for density ≤0.35 g/cm³.

4412.10.90Same rate: 35%

If plywood or veneered with ≥1 ply

Plywood panels with fiberboard core but having wood veneers are reclassified to Chapter 44 heading 4412.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify density certification (0.35-0.5 g/cm³) and bitumen impregnation content via lab testing to confirm HTS 4411.94.00.10 classification

Provide manufacturer's specs confirming no mechanical working or surface covering; surface-covered variants shift to other subheadings

Include origin certificates as wood products may face Lacey Act declarations and phytosanitary requirements
