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 v2017 Code: 441193

About 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 441193 covers a specific type of fibreboard, a versatile engineered wood product used in a wide range of applications. Fibreboard of this density range is valued for its strength, durability, and insulation properties, making it a popular choice in the construction, furniture, and packaging industries. As a key component in the broader wood products sector, this industry plays an important role in supporting economic activity and meeting the demand for sustainable building materials.

Production process

The production of fibreboard under HS code 441193 typically involves a multi-step process. First, wood or other ligneous materials are mechanically broken down into fine fibers. These fibers are then bonded together, either with resins or other organic substances, and compressed into panels or boards. The specific density range of 0.5g/cm3 to 0.8g/cm3 is achieved through careful control of the compression and bonding processes.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fibreboard under HS code 441193 include wood or other ligneous raw materials, such as softwood or hardwood pulp, as well as various resins and organic binders. Specialized machinery, such as fiber preparation equipment, pressing machines, and drying ovens, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production equipment.

Production outputs

Fibreboard produced under HS code 441193 is a versatile material with a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in the construction industry for applications such as wall panels, flooring, and insulation. The fibreboard may also be used in the production of furniture, packaging, and other industrial products. Other related HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 441111 Wood fiberboard of wood or other ligneous materials, whether or not bonded with resins or other organic substances, 441112 (Medium density fibreboard (MDF) of wood or other ligneous materials, whether or not bonded with resins or other organic substances), and 441193 (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).
