Import Tips
• Verify APA or equivalent structural rating certification to confirm OSB classification and avoid reclassification as generic particleboard
• Provide detailed production process documentation proving oriented strand construction, as random orientation may shift to other subheadings
• Check for formaldehyde emission compliance (EPA TSCA Title VI) with lab test reports to prevent entry refusals
