Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify structural engineering certifications and load-bearing specifications meet US building codes like IBC for smooth customs clearance

• Include detailed assembly diagrams and metal connector invoices to prove classification as complete roof trusses rather than loose lumber

• Watch for anti-dumping duties on softwood lumber components; maintain records separating truss value from raw wood
