HS Code 4411.93 – Fibreboard (other than MDF) of a density exceeding 0.5g/cm3 but not 0.8g/cm3, of wood or other ligneous materials, bonded or not with resins or other organic substances
HS code 4411.93 is the 6-digit subheading for fibreboard (other than MDF) of a density exceeding 0.5g/cm3 but not 0.8g/cm3, of wood or other ligneous materials, bonded or not with resins or other organic substances. It is used for standard fibreboard panels (non-MDF), general-purpose fibreboard, furniture components (non-MDF), packaging material fibreboard and display board.
What HS 4411.93 covers
This HS code covers fibreboard (other than MDF) with a density exceeding 0.5g/cm3 but not exceeding 0.8g/cm3. These panels offer a crucial balance of strength, workability, and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for a variety of general-purpose applications where the extreme density of HDF or the specific characteristics of MDF are not required. Importers include furniture manufacturers, packaging companies, and DIY retailers seeking versatile and affordable panel solutions for non-structural components, display boards, or general interior uses. Exporters are typically countries with diverse wood processing capabilities and access to various wood or ligneous materials. Key trade aspects involve ensuring consistent density, surface quality, and compliance with relevant environmental and safety standards, particularly regarding formaldehyde emissions and sustainable sourcing, in line with EUDR and EUTR.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
