Fibreboard (other than MDF) of a density not exceeding 0.5g/cm3, of wood or other ligneous materials, bonded or not with resins or other organic substances

HS v2022 Code: 441194

About fibreboard (other than mdf) of a density not exceeding 0.5g/cm3, of wood or other ligneous materials, bonded or not with resins or other organic substances

HS code 441194 covers a specific type of fibreboard, a versatile engineered wood product used in a wide range of applications. Fibreboard is an important material in the construction, furniture, and packaging industries, providing a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to solid wood. This code encompasses fibreboard with a density not exceeding 0.5g/cm3, made from wood or other ligneous materials, with or without the addition of resins or other organic binders.

Production process

The production of fibreboard under HS code 441194 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, which may include wood chips, sawdust, or other lignocellulosic materials, are broken down and refined into fine fibers. These fibers are then mixed with resins or other organic binders, if required, and formed into mats or panels. The mats are then pressed and heated to bond the fibers together, creating the final fibreboard product.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of fibreboard under HS code 441194 include wood or other lignocellulosic materials, such as 440121 Wood in chips or particles, 440122 Wood in chips or particles, and 440130 Sawdust and wood waste and scrap. Depending on the specific product, resins or other organic binders may also be used. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as refining equipment, forming machines, and hot presses, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

Fibreboard produced under HS code 441194 is a versatile material used in a variety of applications. It is commonly used in the construction industry for applications such as 441011 Particle board, 441213 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, and 441510 Packing cases, boxes, crates, drums and similar packings, of wood. The fibreboard may also be used in the production of furniture, packaging, and other industrial products.
