Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "surrogate value").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead. (e.g., CIT).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., CBP +ruling).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., ruling -NY).

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls") or "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

EPA Lists Subheadings That May Need TSCA Wood Formaldehyde Import Certifications
March 27, 2019 |EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency recently posted a list of tariff schedule subheadings that may require import certification under Toxic Substances Control Act regulations on formaldehyde in composite wood products. The list is intended to “assist importers in identifying regulated composite wood products, component parts fabricated with composite wood products, and finished goods fabricated with composite wood products which may require TSCA Section 13 Import Certification” in ACE, EPA said on its website. “Although EPA has attempted to identify a large universe of HTS codes that would be associated with articles regulated by the rule, this list is not exhaustive, and in some cases may be over-inclusive. Thus, this list should not be considered conclusive of articles that do or do not require TSCA Section 13 import certification,” EPA said. Import certification for composite wood products has been required since March 22.
