Import Tips

• Provide mill test certificates confirming MDF density (0.45-0.80 g/cm³) and thickness exceeding 9mm to avoid misclassification

• Document continuous tongue/groove/rabbet along edges with photos or technical drawings; declare 'dedicated for building construction' explicitly

• Avoid common pitfalls like formaldehyde emission labeling—ensure CARB Phase 2 or TSCA Title VI compliance for U.S. market entry
