HS Code 4410.90 – Particle board, oriented strand board (OSB) and similar board of ligneous materials other than wood, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances
HS code 4410.90 is the 6-digit subheading for particle board, oriented strand board (OSB) and similar board of ligneous materials other than wood, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances. It is used for bamboo particle board, bagasse particle board, flax shive board, straw board and hemp fiber board.
What HS 4410.90 covers
This category is vital for the trade of composite panels made from non-wood ligneous materials, such as bamboo, bagasse (sugarcane residue), flax shives, or straw. These boards, whether particle board, OSB, or similar, are agglomerated with resins and offer sustainable alternatives to traditional wood products, driven by environmental concerns, resource scarcity, and circular economy principles. Importers are often manufacturers looking for eco-friendly materials, particularly in regions with limited timber resources or strong green building initiatives. Exporters are typically countries with abundant agricultural by-products and the technology to convert them into functional panels. Key considerations include the specific raw material's properties, the panel's performance characteristics, and compliance with green building standards and sustainability certifications, which are increasingly important in global markets and for regulations like EUDR and EUTR.

Codes often confused with 4410.90
Common mistake. Often confused with wood-based particle board (4410.11) or OSB (4410.12), but the defining characteristic here is the use of *non-wood* ligneous materials, which impacts material properties and sustainability claims.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 441090, 2025

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).
