Import Tips
• Include mill test reports certifying medium density (0.45-0.80 g/cm³) and resin impregnation to support classification
• Label products clearly as 'for construction use only' to demonstrate dedication and avoid general merchandise tariffs
• Watch for misdeclaration as furniture parts, which could shift to HTS 9403; maintain building end-use proof
