• Verify thickness does not exceed 5mm and confirm no mechanical working or surface coverings like laminates to avoid reclassification
• Obtain mill certificates showing density between 0.45-0.80 g/cm³ and resin content to prove MDF classification
• Declare exact dimensions and ensure formaldehyde emission levels comply with TSCA Title VI for composite wood products
