Import Tips & Compliance

Document the maple outer ply content exceeding specified thresholds and confirm it's laminboard construction for CBP verification

Test surface coatings to prove transparency; opaque finishes require different classification and higher duties

Avoid delays by pre-submitting samples if panels have unique tongue-and-groove flooring profiles
