Import Tips
• Include photos and measurements proving touch sanding is minimal for sizing only, preventing misclassification as further manufactured
• Ensure Customs declaration specifies 'rough or touch sanded for sizing' and references Douglas fir botanical name for accurate duty assessment
• Check for formaldehyde emission compliance (EPA TSCA Title VI) with test reports, as required for composite wood panels
