4411.12.90.10 - Standard wood molding

This HTS classification, 4411.12.90.10, specifically covers standard wood molding that meets the criteria of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) with a thickness not exceeding 5 mm. These are finished or semi-finished articles shaped from MDF, typically used for decorative or functional purposes in construction and woodworking. Examples include baseboards, crown molding, door casings, and window trim. The key defining characteristic is that these products are manufactured from MDF and are intended for molding applications.

The distinction within this level lies between "standard wood molding" (4411.12.90.10) and "other" (4411.12.90.90) at the same hierarchical position. While both fall under medium-density fiberboard, not exceeding 5 mm thickness, and are considered "other" within the broader categories, 4411.12.90.10 is reserved for molding that is considered "standard" in its form and typical usage. The "other" category would encompass less common or uniquely shaped MDF articles that do not fit the description of standard molding.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive, meaning that once a product meets the precise description of standard wood molding under these specifications, it is classified under 4411.12.90.10. Further subdivisions would typically occur at lower levels of the HTS, detailing specific treatments, finishes, or dimensions if those were distinguishing factors for customs purposes.
