Rock Wool Acoustic Wall Panels
Pre-formed panels made from rock wool fibers designed specifically for sound absorption in interior walls and studios. These boards are compressed into rigid shapes with binders for enhanced acoustic performance and fire resistance. Classified under HTS 6806.10.00.10 as sound-insulating articles of mineral wool in the form of acoustical pads and boards.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied in bulk fibers or loose fill
Loose mineral wool without formed pads or boards falls under bulk forms, not pre-formed acoustical articles.
If containing over 30% asbestos fibers
Asbestos-based mineral articles are excluded from Chapter 68 note and classified in heading 6811.
If mounted in frames as complete room partitions
Assembled prefabricated buildings or panels with structural frames fall under Chapter 94 furniture/prefabs.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify product meets ASTM C665 standards for mineral wool insulation to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test reports certifying non-asbestos content and fire ratings (Class A) for smooth clearance
• Label clearly as 'acoustical boards' to distinguish from bulk rolls under the same heading
