Import Tips
• Include detailed invoice descriptions specifying 'spliced' and cherry species to prevent undervaluation disputes
• Comply with EPA TSCA Title VI for formaldehyde emissions if destined for formaldehyde-based adhesives in lamination
• Test for moisture content (typically <12%) to avoid warping claims during customs inspection
