Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates proving HDF density and fiber composition to prevent confusion with particleboard
• Oil treatment must be documented as non-pigment surface; excess binders could trigger binder content scrutiny
• Watch for volumetric weight declarations in shipping; dense HDF incurs higher freight but lower duties than coated versions
