Import Tips

• Verify the product is composed primarily of mineral wool or expanded mineral materials to qualify under Chapter 68; provide lab test reports confirming sound absorption properties

• Ensure labeling includes material composition and fire ratings (e.g

• Class A per ASTM E84) as required for building materials; common pitfall is misclassifying fiberglass products

• Obtain certificates of origin for preferential duty treatment and comply with EPA formaldehyde emission standards if applicable to binders used
