4411.92.40.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS code, 4411.92.40.00, covers "Other" fiberboard of wood or other ligneous materials, specifically those with a density exceeding 0.8 g/cm³. This residual category encompasses fiberboard products that do not fit into more specific classifications within Chapter 44, such as those with particular surface treatments, perforations, or specific intended uses for building construction that are explicitly defined elsewhere. The key defining characteristic for inclusion here is the material composition (wood or other ligneous materials), the method of bonding (resins or other organic substances), and the high density.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4411.92.30.00, is crucial. The sibling category specifically addresses tileboard that has undergone continuous edge working and is intended for wall, ceiling, or other building construction applications. Therefore, 4411.92.40.00 would include high-density fiberboard that might be used for other purposes, such as furniture components, industrial applications, or general fabrication, provided it is not otherwise specifically classified. The absence of specific manufacturing processes or dedicated end-uses defined by other subheadings is the hallmark of this residual classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 4411.92.40.00 is final, meaning that once a product meets the criteria of fiberboard, of a density exceeding 0.8 g/cm³, and is not specifically provided for under any preceding or sibling subheadings, it will be classified here. This underscores the importance of carefully reviewing all preceding and sibling HTS codes to ensure that no more specific classification is applicable before assigning goods to this residual category.
