Import Tips
• Document acoustic testing (NRC ratings) alongside edge features to substantiate construction dedication
• Comply with TSCA Title VI for formaldehyde emissions; maintain supplier test reports for CBP review
• Avoid declaring as 'finished ceiling systems' to prevent erroneous 9405 classification
