MDF Insulation Board 6mm

Medium-density fiberboard with a density of 0.45 g/cm³, made from wood fibers bonded with resins, used primarily for sound and thermal insulation in walls. It falls under HTS 4411.94.00 due to its low density not exceeding 0.5 g/cm³ and classification as fiberboard of wood. This lightweight material is ideal for construction applications requiring minimal weight.

Alternative Classifications

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

4411.92Lower: 16% vs 35%

If density exceeds 0.5 g/cm³ but ≤0.8 g/cm³

Medium-density fiberboards with density above 0.5 g/cm³ shift to subheading 4411.92.

4412.10.90Same rate: 35%

If plywood or veneered with ≥2 layers

Plywood panels with multiple veneer layers are classified under Chapter 44 heading 4412, not fiberboard.

6808.00.00.00Same rate: 35%

If primarily for industrial heat-resistant applications

High-temperature or specially processed panels may classify as other articles of stone or similar materials.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify density certification from manufacturer as ≤0.5 g/cm³ to avoid reclassification to higher density subheadings

Include test reports for formaldehyde emissions to meet EPA TSCA Title VI requirements for composite wood products

Ensure proper labeling of resin content and wood source to prevent customs delays
