Import Tips & Compliance

• Declare exact panel dimensions; sheets over 1.22m x 2.44m may trigger different statistical suffixes

• Include formaldehyde test reports per TSCA to avoid CBP detention on composite wood

• Separate edge banding; pre-edged panels risk reclassification as finished joinery
