Import Tips
• Provide OSB strand orientation documentation to distinguish from standard plywood under Chapter 44 headings
• Ensure no retail packaging; bulk shipment prevents reclassification as finished goods
• Test for formaldehyde emissions to comply with TSCA Title VI regulations for composite wood products
