Import Tips
• Include span tables certified by truss plate manufacturers (e.g
• MiTek, Simpson Strong-Tie) for customs validation
• Separate invoice lines for wood vs. hardware to facilitate duty calculations on primary wood material
• Avoid overpacking that obscures truss shape; CBP may inspect for dimensional compliance with truss definitions
