Import Tips
• Label panels clearly with dimensions and species; customs often rejects ambiguous markings leading to measurement disputes
• Test for formaldehyde emissions if destined for furniture—comply with TSCA Title VI for US market entry
• Avoid mixing with bamboo plies as that triggers different classification rules per Chapter 44 notes
