Import Tips

• Verify thickness exceeds 9mm and confirm MDF density (0.5-0.8 g/cm³) via lab testing to avoid misclassification as particleboard

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates for wood products to comply with ISPM 15 fumigation standards

• Label panels clearly with thickness, density, and resin content to prevent customs disputes
