Analysis
HTS 4410.19.00 covers of wood: other under heading 4410 (particle board, oriented strand board (OSB) and similar board (for example, waferboard)…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 4 ten-digit suffixes, reported in m3 and kilograms.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 40% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 40% duty.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 61% of the 257 tariff lines in chapter 44 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 4410.11.00 (of wood: particle board, duty-free), 4410.12.00 (oriented strand board (OSB), duty-free) and 4410.90.00 (particle board, oriented strand board (OSB) and similar…, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 321219 (Reconstituted Wood Product Manufacturing), an industry of 192 US establishments employing 14,132 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
