Import Tips
• Provide binding agent safety data sheets (SDS) confirming low VOC emissions for U.S. market entry
• Declare exact thickness tolerance (±0.5mm typical) in commercial invoice to match statistical reporting
• Watch for moisture content (6-10%) as high levels can cause warping claims or rejections at customs
