Last updated: April 2026 dataAgglomerated panels made from non-wood ligneous materials — such as agricultural residues like straw, hemp, or bagasse — occupy a distinct classification niche from conventional wood-based particleboard. These panels serve the construction, furniture, and interior fit-out sectors as lower-cost or more sustainable alternatives to wood-fiber composites. Importers should note that the 'not elsewhere specified' scope of this heading requires careful classification review to avoid misclassification against standard wood particleboard headings. Formaldehyde emission standards (CARB Phase 2 and EPA TSCA Title VI) apply to composite wood panels sold in the US regardless of fiber origin.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
This heading covers panels made from non-wood ligneous materials (e.g., straw, bagasse, hemp stalks) rather than wood chips or shavings. Correct classification depends on the fiber substrate; panels with any significant wood content may fall under a different SITC or HTS heading, so a licensed customs broker should review the material composition documentation before entry.
Yes. EPA regulations under TSCA Title VI — which align with California's CARB Phase 2 standards — apply to composite wood panels sold or distributed in the US, including those made from non-wood plant fibers bonded with urea-formaldehyde resins. Importers must ensure supplier compliance and maintain third-party certification records.
