Importers of Flat Sheets, Panels, Tiles & Similar Cellulose Fiber-Cement Articles (Asbestos-Free) paid $1.2M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $7.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFlat cellulose fiber-cement panels, tiles, and similar non-corrugated forms serve the residential and commercial construction industry as cladding, underlayment, and interior board products. Mexico and El Salvador are the leading US suppliers under this heading, with Canada also a significant source — all three benefit from USMCA preferential treatment, which can meaningfully reduce landed cost relative to Asian-origin material. The single tariff line 6811820000 captures all non-corrugated sheet and panel forms, so importers must confirm the product's physical profile to avoid misclassification against the corrugated heading 681181. China-origin goods remain subject to Section 301 tariffs.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Generally yes, provided the essential character remains a flat sheet, panel, or tile of cellulose fiber-cement. However, if the article has been further worked into a finished product with distinct functional features (e.g., integrated framing or composite construction), reclassification under a more specific heading may be warranted. Consult a licensed customs broker for borderline cases.
Proximity reduces freight costs for bulky, heavy building materials, and major fiber-cement manufacturers have established production capacity in both countries to serve the North American market. USMCA preferential tariff treatment for Mexican and Canadian goods further reinforces the cost advantage over longer-haul sources.
