• Verify outer ply species certification as nonconiferous (e.g
• poplar) via supplier documentation to avoid reclassification
• Ensure formaldehyde emission compliance with TSCA Title VI for composite wood products; retain CARB/EPA test reports
• Measure panel thickness and dimensions accurately; sub-6mm panels may shift to 4412.39
