Import Tips

• Verify the face ply species certification as birch (Betula spp.) via supplier documentation to confirm HTS 4412.92.11 classification

• Ensure formaldehyde emission compliance with U.S

• EPA TSCA Title VI standards; include CARB Phase 2 certification

• Avoid common pitfalls by confirming no opaque surface coverings that obscure grain, which could shift to other subheadings
