Medium Density Fiberboard Underlayment Sheets

MDF sheets with density 0.35-0.5 g/cm³ used as flooring underlayment, produced by bonding wood fibers with resins under heat and pressure. Falls under HTS 4411.94.00.40 as low-density fiberboard 'other' category. Ideal for subflooring due to uniform structure and moisture resistance.

Alternative Classifications

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

4411.93.60.00Same rate: 35%

If density ≤0.5 g/cm³ but from lauan/meranti

Tropical hardwood sourcing triggers specific 4411.93 classification regardless of density.

4412.10.90Same rate: 35%

If plywood-type laminated construction

If constructed as layered plywood panels rather than molded fiberboard, moves to Chapter 4412.

4418Lower: 13.2% vs 35%

If prefinished with laminate surface

Surface-covered floor coverings classify under 4418, not raw fiberboard.

Import Tips & Compliance

Label shipments clearly as 'density 0.35-0.5 g/cm³ fiberboard' and include lab density reports

Verify no tropical wood content to stay in 'other' subheading; declare species origins accurately
