4411.14.90.10 - Standard wood molding

This HTS classification covers standard wood molding specifically identified as medium density fiberboard (MDF) with a thickness exceeding 9 millimeters. These are typically processed wood panels manufactured from wood fibers, bonded with resins or other organic substances, and then compressed under heat and pressure. The "standard wood molding" designation within this specific code implies products intended for general construction, finishing, or decorative applications, distinguishing them from more specialized or engineered wood products that might fall under different subheadings.

The distinction from its sibling category, 4411.14.90.90 ("Other"), lies in the explicit definition of "standard wood molding." While the sibling also falls under MDF exceeding 9 mm thickness and "Other" sub-classifications, this particular code is reserved for those products specifically recognized and marketed as standard molding. This often relates to their common profiles, intended uses in architectural finishing, or standardized manufacturing processes as opposed to any other type of MDF exceeding the specified thickness.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for standard wood molding meeting the defined thickness and material characteristics. Classification professionals should ensure that the imported or exported article is indeed medium density fiberboard, exceeds 9 mm in thickness, and is characterized as standard wood molding to accurately apply this code.
