Import Tips
• Verify density certification exceeds 0.8 g/cm³ with lab test reports to avoid reclassification to lower density subheadings
• Include ISPM-15 compliant fumigation certificates if panels are palletized for shipping
• Declare exact resin content and ensure no formaldehyde emissions exceed EPA TSCA Title VI limits for composite wood
