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
