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
