Import Tips
• Verify formaldehyde emission compliance with EPA TSCA Title VI standards; provide CARB certification documentation
• Measure density to distinguish from high-density fiberboard which may classify differently; particle board typically 30-50 lbs/ft³
• Include mill test reports showing wood content >97% and binder <3% to avoid reclassification as agglomerated fuel products
