Last updated: April 2026 dataPlaster-based panels and sheets that are neither ornamented nor faced exclusively with paper fall into this residual heading, covering specialty products such as fiber-reinforced plaster boards, glass-mat-faced panels, and acoustical plaster tiles. Canada leads US imports, with Italy and Spain also prominent — reflecting European expertise in specialty plaster construction products. Because this heading sits adjacent to the paper-faced drywall subheading (680911), the facing material and reinforcement method are the decisive classification criteria.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Heading 680911 is limited to panels faced or reinforced with paper or paperboard only. A gypsum panel faced with fiberglass mat does not meet that restriction and therefore falls under 680919 as a plaster-based article not ornamented, NESOI. The facing material must be clearly identified in the commercial invoice and technical documentation to support the correct subheading at entry.
Italy and Spain are notable suppliers under this heading. Goods originating in EU member states are not currently subject to Section 301 tariffs, but importers should confirm whether any antidumping or countervailing duty orders cover the specific product type and origin, as scope can vary by plaster composition and panel construction. A licensed customs broker can assist with a current scope review.
