Import Tips

Verify formaldehyde emission compliance with EPA TSCA Title VI standards; provide CARB Phase 2 certification documentation

Ensure panels are marked with country of origin and thickness; common pitfall is misclassifying as laminate flooring

Confirm continuous edge profiling meets 'tongued, grooved or rabbetted' definition via photos or samples for CBP review
