Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly with 'walnut face ply' and provide species confirmation to prevent disputes over tropical wood status
• Check for formaldehyde emission compliance under TSCA Title VI for plywood panels entering the US market
• Avoid shipping with painted or laminated surfaces, as opaque coverings reclassify to 4412.92 or 4412.99
