Import Tips
• Verify formaldehyde emission compliance with U.S
• EPA TSCA Title VI standards; provide CARB Phase 2 or TSCA certification
• Declare exact dimensions and wood species in entry docs to avoid misclassification as thicker panels under 4412.92.31.00
• Ensure no opaque surface coverings; transparent UV oils are allowed if grain remains visible
