Import Tips
• Label accurately as 'cabinet back' vs structural to match end-use declarations; mismatches trigger audits
• Include binder/ adhesive specs showing ≤3% if questioned on agglomeration, though not pellets/briquettes
• Avoid bundling with hardware, or it may classify as a set under different rules
