Primed MDF Moulding

The AD and CVD orders cover wood mouldings and millwork from China, not Vietnam, and Commerce continued them for a further five years effective 24 June 2026 — dumping margins of 44.60–230.36% and subsidy rates of 20.56–252.29%. One trap worth knowing: MDF profiles classify in heading 4411, which is not among the HTSUS numbers listed in the orders, but the orders state plainly that the HTSUS list is for convenience and the written scope description is dispositive. Classification is not a shelter. We are a manufacturer, not your customs counsel — if the volume justifies it, file a scope ruling under 19 CFR 351.225 against cases A-570-117 and C-570-118.

Ask for four things, and we will provide all four: the name and address of the MDF panel mill (not just the country), the board purchase invoices matched to your production run, a live unscripted video walk of the profiling and priming line on a date you choose, and the CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI certificate for the board itself. This matters because several suppliers marketing Vietnamese moulding also operate plants in China and Malaysia, and Commerce has already ruled in an adjacent product that hardwood plywood exported from Vietnam but assembled from Chinese inputs is a product of China.

MDF for painted interior trim in dry rooms: it is cheaper per linear metre on wide flat profiles, holds crisp detail, and shows no grain or knots under gloss. Finger-joint pine wherever water is possible or the finish is anything but paint — bathrooms, laundries, door thresholds, and every stained profile. MDF swelling is permanent: a wetted baseboard does not dry back to size, it stays swollen and the paint film fails above it. Pine also holds a fastener better and weighs less per metre. If your programme needs both, run them from one supplier and one loading plan.

One 40ft container, which is about 12 bundles. We accept mixed containers across profiles, and we can combine moulding with other wood products on the same booking.

We quote by volume and weight rather than by piece, because the number of pieces per bundle changes with every profile. The ceilings are 44 m³ and roughly 26 tonnes — whichever is reached first. Send your profile list and we will work out the exact load.

Kiln-dried Southern Yellow Pine from the United States or radiata pine from New Zealand, bought through established importers. We pass on the supplier documentation for the batch that goes into your order.

Send a drawing or a physical offcut. We cut knives to it and run a sample for your approval before the order starts. Tooling is a one-off at the beginning of a programme, not a charge on every repeat order.

Yes — cartons, pallets, labels, barcodes and pack counts to your specification, including your own brand on the pack. Tell us the retail spec at quotation stage so the packing line is set up once.

Production photos during the run, loading photos before the doors close, and the seal number. If you would rather have an independent check, our inspection service can attend the loading.
