Bitumen Impregnated Medium Density Fiberboard Roof Underlayment from China

This medium density fiberboard (MDF), with density between 0.35-0.5 g/cm³, is impregnated with bitumen to enhance water resistance and durability for use as roof underlayment. It falls under HTS 4411.94.00.30 due to its specific density range and bitumen impregnation, distinguishing it from higher density or untreated fiberboards. Commonly used in construction for protecting roofs from moisture penetration.

Import Tips

• Verify density certification (0.35-0.5 g/cm³) and bitumen impregnation content via lab testing to confirm HTS 4411.94.00.30 classification

• Include manufacturer's specs and impregnation process documentation to avoid misclassification as plain fiberboard

• Check for formaldehyde emission compliance under TSCA Title VI for composite wood products
