Import Tips & Compliance

Verify both outer plies are coniferous species via mill certificates; misclassification to non-coniferous headings is common

Ensure formaldehyde emission compliance (EPA TSCA Title VI) with lab test reports for composite wood products

Declare accurate glue type and layers; exterior-grade requires waterproof phenolic resin documentation
