MDF Insulation Board 6mm from Japan
Medium-density fiberboard with a density of 0.45 g/cm³, made from wood fibers bonded with resins, used primarily for sound and thermal insulation in walls. It falls under HTS 4411.94.00 due to its low density not exceeding 0.5 g/cm³ and classification as fiberboard of wood. This lightweight material is ideal for construction applications requiring minimal weight.

Import Tips
• Verify density certification from manufacturer as ≤0.5 g/cm³ to avoid reclassification to higher density subheadings
• Include test reports for formaldehyde emissions to meet EPA TSCA Title VI requirements for composite wood products
• Ensure proper labeling of resin content and wood source to prevent customs delays
