HTS heading 4410 is a four-digit product category for particle board, oriented strand board (OSB), waferboard, and similar panels made from wood or other ligneous materials. The material may be held together with resins or other organic binders. In plain language, it generally covers engineered wood panels made from particles, strands, flakes, or comparable wood-based material rather than solid-sawn boards.
The heading is only the starting point. To reach the correct eight-digit U.S. HTS code, identify the panel’s precise type and composition, then follow the tariff schedule’s further distinctions. Those distinctions may depend on whether the product is particle board, OSB, or another similar board; the material used; and any specified construction or physical characteristics. Confirm the complete product description against the current HTSUS and seek a customs broker’s or binding-ruling advice when the classification is uncertain.
What to check
- Obtain the manufacturer’s technical description, including the material, manufacturing process, binder, and panel type.
- Determine whether the product is particle board, OSB, waferboard, or another similar engineered panel before selecting a subheading.
- Check the panel’s construction and physical specifications listed in the HTSUS, such as composition, surface treatment, or other distinguishing characteristics.
- Read all exclusions, section and chapter notes, and the full wording of the candidate eight-digit provisions rather than relying on a product name alone.
- Keep product literature, photographs, specifications, and classification reasoning on file, and ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if competing codes appear plausible.
HTS heading 4410 summary
Particle board is a 4-digit product category containing 4 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
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.

Common questions
What products fall under HTS heading 4410?
Particle board, oriented strand board (OSB) and similar board (for example, waferboard) of wood or other ligneous materials, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances. To classify a specific item you must pick the matching sub-category and 8-digit code above; the right choice usually depends on the material and construction of the product.
How do I choose the right code within this category?
Start from the sub-categories (typically divided by material—for example cotton versus man-made fibers), then open the active 8- or 10-digit code that matches the product. When unsure, a licensed customs broker or a CBP binding ruling can confirm the classification.
