Import Tips
• Provide evidence of lamination process and concrete-specific coatings to distinguish from general lumber
• Ensure shipping manifests specify 'formwork shuttering' to prevent customs misclassification as sawn wood
• Test for binder content if agglomerated; over 3% may affect related fuel product classifications
