Import Tips
• Include detailed layer diagram showing birch face and tropical outer ply positions for Customs verification
• Test for formaldehye emissions to comply with TSCA Title VI; retain lab reports for entry
• Avoid common pitfall of generic 'hardwood plywood' declarations—specify Betula spp. and tropical species
