Import Tips
• Verify species certification for outer plies matching listed pines (e.g
• Pinus taeda) via supplier documentation to avoid reclassification
• Ensure formaldehyde emission compliance with EPA TSCA Title VI for plywood imported into the US
• Provide mill test certificate confirming ply thickness ≤6mm and coniferous composition for both outer layers
