Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify thickness measurement complies with HTS thickness ranges and provide mill test certificates confirming MDF density between 0.45-0.85 g/cm³
• Include formaldehye emission test reports (CARB Phase 2 or TSCA Title VI compliant) as required for composite wood products
• Avoid misclassification as particleboard (4411.11-4411.12) by documenting fiber-based composition vs. discrete particles
