Import Tips
• Provide species origin documentation; birch not considered 'common softwood' per HTS notes
• Test for urea-formaldehyde emissions; non-compliant panels subject to Lacey Act declarations
• Separate from HDF (high density) by density specs in entry docs to avoid 4411.19 reclassification
