Import Tips
• Verify density certification exceeds 0.8 g/cm³ with lab test reports to avoid reclassification to lower density subheadings
• Ensure documentation confirms no paint, laminate, or veneer coating beyond oil treatment to qualify for this tariff
• Declare exact thickness and dimensions; common pitfall is mislabeling HDF as MDF leading to duty disputes
