Import Tips
• Provide truss design software outputs (e.g
• from Alpine, Mitek) showing stress analysis for CBP verification
• Invoice must specify 'complete truss assembly' excluding any loose bracing shipped separately
• Confirm wood moisture content <19% to meet building code requirements and avoid mold claims
