Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Panels from Japan
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels are large-format structural panels made by stacking and gluing layers of solid-sawn lumber at right angles. They are used as load-bearing walls, floors, and roofs in mid-rise and tall wood buildings. CLT falls under this tariff item as an engineered structural timber product not elsewhere specified.

Import Tips
• Ensure CLT panels meet Canadian CSA O122 or equivalent structural standards and provide proof of lamination adhesive compliance
• Declare the exact dimensions and species mix, as CBSA may verify the engineered nature
• Consider obtaining a ruling from the CBSA National Customs Rulings unit to avoid reclassification
