Import Tips & Compliance

Label panels clearly as 'fiberboard' not 'insulation' to avoid confusion with Chapter 68 mineral wool products

Maintain records of production process showing mechanical wood processing origin per subheading notes

Test for VOC emissions if marketed for interior use to meet CARB/EPA standards
