HS Code 4410.11 – Particle board of wood, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances
HS code 4410.11 is the 6-digit subheading for particle board of wood, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances. It is used for standard particle board panels, moisture-resistant particle board, fire-retardant particle board, melamine-faced particle board and raw particle board sheets.
What HS 4410.11 covers
This HS code covers particle board made from wood, a widely traded engineered wood product formed by pressing wood chips, sawdust, or shavings with synthetic resin or other organic binders under heat and pressure. It's a cost-effective alternative to solid wood or plywood, primarily used in furniture manufacturing, interior design, and construction for non-structural applications like shelving, cabinet carcasses, and flooring underlayment. Major importers are typically furniture manufacturers, construction companies, and large retailers in countries with high consumer demand for ready-to-assemble furniture and building materials. Exporters are often nations with robust forestry industries and advanced wood processing capabilities. Key trade considerations include formaldehyde emission standards, moisture resistance, and compliance with sustainability regulations like EUDR and EUTR, which are increasingly important for market access.

Codes often confused with 4410.11
Common mistake. Can be confused with MDF (4411.1x) due to similar applications, but particle board is made from larger wood chips, giving it a coarser texture and different strength properties.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
