Import Tips
• Ensure resin binder content documentation is below regulatory limits for VOC emissions per U.S. standards
• Label sheets with country of origin, thickness, and density (typically 650-750 kg/m³) for CBP verification
• Avoid shipping in containers with poor ventilation to prevent moisture absorption and warping claims
