Import Tips

Verify density certification (0.5-0.8 g/cm³) and resin content documentation to confirm classification under 4411.93

Provide evidence of tongue-groove edges and building construction intent via architectural specs or buyer contracts

Avoid misclassification as furniture parts by excluding assembly hardware; common pitfall is undervaluing resin lamination
