Import Tips
• Declare exact density (650-800 kg/m³) to distinguish from particleboard; retain mill certificates
• Ensure ISPM-15 compliance if palletized; fumigation certificates required for wood packaging
• Label panels clearly as 'MDF' to prevent reclassification as thin lumber under Chapter 44 headings
