Import Tips
• Verify density certification (0.5-0.8 g/cm³) and confirm no paint, laminate or veneer coating beyond oil treatment via lab testing if needed
• Include mill test reports showing wood fiber composition and resin content under CBP documentation requirements
• Avoid misclassification as particleboard (4410) by ensuring uniform fiber structure, not wood particles
