Import Tips
• Retain APA certification stamps visible on panels or provide certification documents, as customs may verify structural claims
• Document exposure rating (Exposure 1 or Exterior) with supporting test data to distinguish from interior-grade boards
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'plywood' - emphasize strand construction in entry documentation
