If thickness exceeds 9 mm

If not bonded with resins (raw fiberboard)
Unprocessed or minimally bonded fiberboard falls under coniferous wood heading 4409 before medium density processing.
If assembled into builders' joinery sets
Pre-assembled trim kits or joinery components for construction use classify under heading 4418 as builders' woodwork.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify MDF thickness and density (0.5-0.8 g/cm³) meets medium density specs; provide mill test reports for formaldehyde emissions (CARB Phase 2 compliant)
• Include detailed profile drawings and photos in entry docs to confirm 'standard wood molding' classification vs sawn lumber
• Avoid misclassification as finished flooring by ensuring no tongue-and-groove for floor use; check for country-of-origin marking
