Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving heat treatment (ISPM 15) for wooden panels to comply with USDA APHIS regulations
• Declare exact thickness and density on entry documents; exceeding 9mm but under 0.8 g/cm³ keeps it in 4411.14.90.90
• Avoid misclassification as particleboard (4411.11-4411.13) by providing lab test results confirming medium density fiber structure
