Import Tips

• Verify density certification exceeds 0.8 g/cm³ via lab testing to avoid reclassification to lower-density subheadings

• Provide architectural specification sheets proving dedication for building walls/ceilings, not general furniture use

• Ensure edge-working documentation (e.g

• milling certificates) shows continuous profiling along edges
