Import Tips
• Verify melamine impregnation via supplier certification; customs may test for paper type and coverage
• Include mill test reports showing wood particle composition and binder content under 3% for agglomerated materials
• Avoid misclassification as finished furniture by ensuring panels are imported as raw boards without assembly
