Import Tips
• Verify all plies are wood (no bamboo) and each ≤6mm thick; obtain mill certificates confirming species and dimensions
• Ensure both outer plies are coniferous (e.g
• spruce, pine); misclassification to non-coniferous can trigger audits
• Declare exact thickness and species; common pitfall is formaldehyde emission labeling under TSCA Title VI for US market
