HTS heading 4411 is a broad product category for fiberboard made from wood or other ligneous materials, meaning plant-based materials with a wood-like structure. It can include board made from wood fibers, particles, or similar plant material, whether or not the fibers are bonded with resins or other organic substances. The heading covers several product types rather than one single finished good.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the board’s technical characteristics and then follow the subheadings under 4411. The narrower classification commonly depends on the board’s material or construction and type, such as whether it is medium-density fiberboard, hardboard, or another specified kind, along with characteristics identified in the tariff text. Review the complete subheading wording, unit of quantity, and any relevant legal notes; a customs broker or ruling may be needed for unusual products.
What to check
- Identify the board’s core material, manufacturing process, and whether it is made from wood fibers or another ligneous material.
- Confirm the product type and technical characteristics described by the subheadings, including density, thickness, surface treatment, and whether it is laminated, coated, or otherwise worked.
- Read the full 8-digit subheading and the applicable chapter and section notes rather than relying only on a product name or supplier description.
- Keep product specifications, composition information, technical data sheets, photographs, and samples available to support the classification.
- Check current official HTSUS text and seek customs-broker or binding-ruling guidance when the product has multiple materials, unusual processing, or an unclear board type.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
