Import Tips
• Submit truss design calculations certified by a professional engineer to confirm glulam classification
• Document adhesive formulation to prove compliance with formaldehyde emission standards like CARB Phase 2
• Package securely to prevent delamination during shipping, which could lead to reclassification claims
