Import Tips
• Include mill certificates specifying birch species and ply count/thickness to prevent disputes over 'other' vs. specified face ply categories
• Avoid common pitfall of importing pre-sanded panels mistaken for surface-covered; document raw state at export
• Check for formaldehyde emission compliance (EPA TSCA Title VI) with test reports required for composite wood products
