Import Tips
• Provide evidence of marine-grade treatment if claimed, but base classification on ply structure; waterproofing doesn't change HTS
• Check for CITES restrictions if any ply nears protected species thresholds; Douglas fir generally exempt
• Label for formaldehyde emissions; importers often overlook Phase 2 TSCA certification requirements
