Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) Raw Panels from China
Unprocessed medium density fiberboard panels with density between 0.5-0.8 g/cm³, made from wood fibers bonded with resins, not mechanically worked beyond basic forming or surface covered. These raw sheets are used as base material for furniture and construction before further processing. Classified under 4411.93.10.00 due to their fiberboard composition, density range, and lack of mechanical working or surface treatment.

Import Tips
• Verify density certification (0.5-0.8 g/cm³) with lab tests to confirm subheading eligibility and avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test reports showing resin content and no surface coverings; declare as 'not mechanically worked' accurately
