Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If bound with resin instead of mineral binders
Resin-bound wood particleboard falls under Chapter 44 as fiberboard, not Chapter 68.
If primarily fiber cement without substantial wood content
Pure fiber cement sheets without wood agglomerates are classified as articles of cement.
If surface-coated or glazed for decorative use
Coated cement articles move to heading 6810, separate from plain agglomerated panels.
