HS Code 4411.92 – Fibreboard (other than MDF) of a density exceeding 0.8g/cm3, of wood or other ligneous materials, bonded or not with resins or other organic substances
HS code 4411.92 is the 6-digit subheading for fibreboard (other than MDF) of a density exceeding 0.8g/cm3, of wood or other ligneous materials, bonded or not with resins or other organic substances. It is used for high-density fibreboard (HDF) panels, hardboard sheets, tempered hardboard, perforated hardboard and door skins (HDF).
What HS 4411.92 covers
This category covers high-density fibreboard (HDF) and hardboard, distinct from MDF due to their significantly higher density (exceeding 0.8g/cm3) and often different manufacturing processes, such as the wet process for hardboard. These panels are highly durable, resistant to impact, and offer excellent structural properties, making them valuable in specific industrial and construction applications. Importers are often manufacturers of flooring (as a core material), door skins, automotive interiors, and specialty packaging. Exporters are typically countries with established fibreboard production facilities and access to suitable wood or ligneous materials. Key trade considerations include surface hardness, moisture resistance, and dimensional stability, as well as compliance with specific industry standards for performance and environmental attributes, including EUDR and EUTR.

Codes often confused with 4411.92
Common mistake. Often confused with thin MDF (4411.12) due to similar appearance, but HDF/hardboard has a significantly higher density (>0.8g/cm3) and different mechanical properties, making it more rigid and impact-resistant.

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).
