Import Tips

• Include lab test reports confirming medium density (0.45-0.80 g/cm³) to distinguish from particleboard or HDF

• Check for vacuum pressing marks; any additional machining disqualifies from 'not mechanically worked' status

• File EPA TSCA certification at entry to certify formaldehyde compliance for all composite wood imports
