Import Tips
• Include technical specs confirming density (0.45-0.80 g/cm³) and edge machining; avoid reclassification as furniture parts
• Test for dimensional stability post-import; humidity fluctuations can cause warping claims during entry
• Provide evidence of 'dedicated construction use' via sales invoices or architectural specs to prevent shift to general MDF codes
