Medium Density Fiberboard Pulp (MDF Pulp) from Mexico
Medium Density Fiberboard Pulp (MDF Pulp) is produced by mechanically defibrating hardwood chips using steam explosion and refining, yielding uniform fibers without chemical digestion. It is used as a raw material for manufacturing medium density fiberboard, where the fibers are dried and pressed into panels. Because the pulp is obtained entirely by mechanical means and retains most of the wood's original components, it qualifies as mechanical wood pulp under tariff item 4701.00.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the pulp is truly mechanical (no chemical pulping) and provide a mill certificate or process description to the CBSA if requested
• Verify the moisture content and fiber uniformity, as these affect classification and potential anti-dumping measures
• Keep records of the production process for at least six years in case of a verification review
