Low-Density Particleboard Insulation Panels
These fiberboard panels, made from wood particles bonded with resins, have a density between 0.35 and 0.5 g/cm³, classifying them under HTS 4411.94.00.40 as low-density fiberboard other than medium board. They are commonly used for wall insulation and soundproofing in construction. The specific density range distinguishes them from higher-density MDF or HDF products.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If density exceeds 0.5 g/cm³
Higher density fiberboard shifts to 4411.92 for medium density boards like standard particleboard.
If made from lauan, meranti, or mixed heartwood
Specific tropical wood species classification takes precedence over generic 'other' fiberboard.
If impregnated or coated for panels
Surface treatments like varnishing move it to Chapter 68 as worked monumental/building stone substitutes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain mill test certificates verifying density between 0.35-0.5 g/cm³ to avoid reclassification to higher density subheadings
• Ensure documentation specifies 'other' fiberboard not qualifying as lauan/mixed heartwood to prevent misclassification
