HS Code 4411 — Fibreboard of Wood (MDF and HDF)
This code encompasses fibreboard products like Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF) and High-Density Fibreboard (HDF). Unlike particle board, these are made from wood fibres bonded with resin under heat and pressure, resulting in a smooth, uniform surface for furniture and flooring.

- Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)
- High Density Fibreboard (HDF)
- Hardboard
- Softboard
What's excluded
- Particle board → use
4410(Made from chips/flakes rather than refined fibres.) - Plywood → use
4412(Made from laminated veneer sheets, not compressed fibres.)
