Import Tips
• Include finish type and VOC compliance certificates, as prefinished panels may require additional EPA/CARB documentation
• Demonstrate ceiling-specific dedication via packaging labels and marketing materials to prevent general panel classification
• Check for formaldehyde emission standards (EPA TSCA Title VI) required for composite wood products entering the US
