Import Tips
• Include glue line test reports proving water resistance; misdocumentation often leads to rejection at ports
• Label clearly as 'not surface covered' to prevent confusion with 4412.94; inspect for any transparent coatings
• Check for TSCA Title VI certification if destined for interior use in the US
