Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates for all hardwood imports to clear USDA inspections promptly
• Specify 'not assembled' status on invoices; common error is classifying pre-bundled strips as finished under 4418
• Test for formaldehyde emissions if any binders used in end-jointing to meet TSCA Title VI
