Import Tips
• Obtain structural engineering certifications and grading stamps (e.g

• Include mill certificates showing glue type (e.g
• PUR adhesives) and low formaldehyde emissions to meet EPA TSCA Title VI
• Avoid misclassification as sawn lumber by providing assembly documentation showing orthogonal lamination process
