Import Tips
• Document end-jointing process and moisture content to prove suitability for veneering, avoiding solid board misclassification
• Use NAICS codes for wood product manufacturing in entry filings for accurate statistical reporting
• Test for formaldehyde emissions if destined for interior use to preempt EPA TSCA compliance checks
