Import Tips
• Verify the outer ply is genuine tropical wood via CITES documentation if species like meranti are protected
• Provide mill test certificates confirming glue type and formaldehyde emission levels to meet EPA TSCA Title VI standards
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring panels are not exactly 6mm thick, which shifts to 4412.31
