Import Tips

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
