Import Tips & Compliance

Include formaldehyde emission test reports to meet EPA TSCA compliance for wood product resins

Label clearly as 'primary form' to prevent confusion with compounded ready-to-use adhesives under 3504

Check for chemical modification; if significantly modified, may shift to 'Other' per subheading note (a)(3)
