Import Tips
• Include architectural specifications proving 'dedicated for ceilings' use to prevent reclassification as general panels
• Test and declare moisture content (<12%) and dimensional stability for construction-grade MDF
• Watch for edge damage during shipping—use protective packaging to maintain continuous profiling integrity
