Low-Density Pine Wood Fiberboard Panel from Germany

Unprocessed fiberboard made from pine wood fibers with a density of 0.35 g/cm³, bonded with minimal resins, and left in its raw state without mechanical working or surface coverings. This falls under HTS 4411.94.00.60 as 'other' low-density fiberboard (≤0.5 g/cm³) that is not mechanically worked or surface-covered. It's commonly used as a base material in construction and furniture manufacturing.

Import Tips

• Verify density certification (≤0.5 g/cm³) with lab tests to confirm subheading 4411.94 classification and avoid reclassification to higher density codes

• Ensure documentation proves no mechanical working or surface covering; invoices should specify 'raw/unprocessed' to prevent customs disputes

• Declare wood origin accurately; fumigation certificates may be required under ISPM 15 for untreated wood products
