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. This fibreboard, with a density exceeding 0.5g/cm3 but not 0.8g/cm3, is made from wood or other ligneous materials, and may be bonded with resins or other organic substances. It plays a crucial role in various industries, including construction, furniture manufacturing, and packaging, contributing to the broader economy through its diverse applications.

Production process

The production of HS code 441193 fibreboard typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, which can include wood fibers, agricultural waste, or other ligneous materials, are mechanically or chemically broken down into individual fibers. These fibers are then formed into a mat or web, which is then compressed and heated to bond the fibers together, either with or without the addition of resins or other organic substances. The resulting fibreboard is then cut and finished to the desired specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 441193 fibreboard include the raw materials, such as wood or other ligneous materials, as well as any necessary resins or organic substances used for bonding. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as fiber processing equipment, mat-forming machines, and hot presses, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also required to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 441193 is the fibreboard itself, which can be used in a variety of applications. This fibreboard may be consumed by industries such as 441192 Fibreboard of wood or other ligneous materials, whether or not bonded with resins or other organic substances, of a density exceeding 0.8 g/cm3 but not exceeding 1.0 g/cm3, 441191 Fibreboard of wood or other ligneous materials, whether or not bonded with resins or other organic substances, of a density not exceeding 0.5 g/cm3, and 441210 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, among others, where its unique properties and characteristics make it a valuable material.
