Import Tips
• Obtain formaldehyde emission test results (e.g
• CARB Phase 2) as required for composite wood products
• Label panels clearly with species and 'not surface-covered' status to prevent customs disputes
• Avoid bundling with hardware; shipping as sets could trigger reclassification under heading 4418
