Import Tips
• Document honeycomb cell size and wood source to distinguish from particleboard; photos of core structure aid customs
• Include production process details showing compression/agglomeration if using shavings per Chapter 44 wood pellet notes analogy
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'MDF' - cellular panels require specific structural proof
