Overview
This HTS classification, 4411.12.30.00, specifically covers medium density fiberboard (MDF) that does not exceed 5 mm in thickness. The key characteristic of goods within this subcategory is their "Other" status, meaning they do not fit into more specific "tongued, grooved or rabbetted continuously along any of its edges and dedicated for use in the construction of walls, ceilings or other parts of buildings" descriptions, nor are they laminated or impregnated with synthetic resins as described in sibling category 4411.12.20.00. Therefore, this code applies to plain, unfinished MDF sheets within the specified thickness range, which are not engineered with specific joinery for building applications or treated with resins for enhanced properties.
This category serves as a residual classification for medium density fiberboard meeting the thickness and general material requirements but lacking the specialized features or treatments found in other subheadings at this level. Examples include standard, smooth-finished MDF sheets intended for general woodworking, furniture manufacturing, or other applications not directly related to building construction joinery. The absence of any specific edge treatments or resin impregnation distinguishes these panels from their more specialized counterparts.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification ends here, with the defining criteria being the material (medium density fiberboard), the thickness limitation (not exceeding 5 mm), and the absence of specific edge treatments or resin impregnation that would place it into a more granular classification.
