What should plywood importers in Korea put in an RFQ?
Name the KS grade family (Eco or Premium), thickness and size in millimetres, required formaldehyde class, target reuse as up to N, and the container type with unloading limits. A line that only says "12 mm film faced" leaves the mill guessing the product card and KS scope.
What is KS Tego plywood?
KS is the Korean Industrial Standards system. Tego is the trade name buyers use for phenolic film-faced formwork plywood. The purchase order should cite the exact product card and current KS certificate, not a generic brown-sheet nickname.
How do KS Tego Eco and Premium differ?
Eco is the cost-controlled KS formwork grade for programmes that can accept a lower rotation. Premium is the higher KS Tego grade when the buyer wants more weight on repeated use and surface consistency. Quote each against its own card, thickness and emission class.
How do you plan a Korea plywood container mix?
Start with thickness, then bundle count and pieces per container. A published Eco 12 mm example uses 75 sheets per bundle and 16 bundles in a 40 ft box (1,200 sheets). Treat that as a planning figure. Fork length, doorway height and pallet mass at the warehouse often decide the final mix.
Which documents should a Korean importer check?
Confirm the current KS certificate scope matches the product family, then open the exact Eco or Premium product card for dimensions, core bond, emission class and face. Keep the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin with the approved specification.
Is every film-faced sheet a KS Tego panel?
No. HDO is a North American formply range. Form Basic and Eco Form serve other market specs. Korean formwork buying should stay inside the KS plywood collection unless the order explicitly calls for a different standard.
