Import Tips

• 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
