Import Tips
• Verify MDF density (0.5-0.8 g/cm³) and thickness >9mm with lab certification to confirm 4411.14 classification
• Include formaldehyde emission test results (e.g
• CARB Phase 2) as required for U.S. composite wood products
• Label products clearly with country of origin and 'Made with MDF' to avoid misclassification as solid lumber
