Alternative Classifications

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

4411.94.00.10Same rate: 35%

If manufactured as medium board density range

Narrower 'medium board' spec within same density if producer designates as such.

6809.11.00Same rate: 35%

If articles with ≥97% magnesite/cement

Mineral-bound boards classify as cement articles, not wood fiberboard.

4418.40.00Higher: 38.2% vs 35%

If pre-painted or edge-finished for direct installation

Assembled cellular wood panels for construction shift to 4418.40.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include acoustic performance test data and density certification in entry documents

Distinguish from mineral fiber tiles (6811) by emphasizing wood fiber composition

Avoid classification as finished 'panels' (4418) by documenting as raw acoustic substrate material

Bagasse Fiberboard Wall Sheathing

Fiberboard made from sugarcane bagasse (ligneous agricultural residue), density 0.35-0.5 g/cm³ for exterior wall sheathing. HTS 4411.94.00.40 includes non-wood ligneous materials as other low-density fiberboard. Eco-friendly structural sheathing board.

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.

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.

Low-Density MDF Speaker Baffle Boards
