Import Tips
• Provide span rating stamps and structural certification docs; US customs often audits for legitimate construction-grade claims
• Ensure no opaque coverings; transparent only to stay in this subheading—pitfall leads to higher duties in 4412.94
• Test for formaldehye emissions if claiming CARB compliance, required for US market entry
