Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving wood is heat-treated to ISPM 15 standards for containerized shipments
• Check for formaldehyde emission compliance under TSCA Title VI for composite wood elements in the frame
• Avoid misclassification by specifying 'pet gate' on commercial invoice, not generic 'wood panel'
