What’s documented
Compliance, point by point.
TSCA Title VI & CARB Phase 2
Birch plywood is certified by a third-party certifier (TPC) as compliant with the U.S. EPA TSCA Title VI and California CARB Phase 2 formaldehyde emission standards, with ULEF (ultra-low-emitting formaldehyde) status.
FSC chain of custody
FSC-certified panels are available. Veneer comes from an FSC-certified Estonian supplier whose certificate can be verified on search.fsc.org. For certified orders the FSC claim appears on the commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading.
Lacey Act
Export documents declare the species — Betula pendula / Betula pubescens (silver and downy birch) — to support your Lacey Act import declaration.
Country of origin: Georgia
Every panel is manufactured at Palati's Rustavi plant — veneer grading, gluing with phenol-formaldehyde resin, cold and hot pressing, sanding and trimming. Palati holds Authorized Exporter status with Georgian customs, so finished goods qualify for Georgian certificates of origin.
Raw material
The mill buys rotary-cut birch veneer from FSC-certified suppliers in the Baltics — not logs, and not local Georgian timber. Sample incoming-veneer documents are available for compliance review.
Batch traceability
Each bundle carries a batch ID traceable back to its production run and veneer input lot.
Factory production control & E1
Certificate of Conformity of Factory Production Control and Certificate of Conformity for Formaldehyde Emission (class E1).
