Import Tips
• Obtain species verification for oak outer plies; mixed species may require average classification
• Label panels clearly with country of origin and TSCA certification to pass CBP examination
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 'veneered panels' (4412.94) if core structure qualifies as laminboard
