If you supply furniture to Rooms To Go, their EDI spec asks for something most retailers do not: a TSCA statement on every invoice. It is one short code, but it has to be there and it has to be right. This post explains what the statement is for, what each code means, and where it sits in the 810.

What TSCA Title VI is

Title VI of the Toxic Substances Control Act is the US Environmental Protection Agency's rule on formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products: hardwood plywood, medium-density fibreboard (MDF) and particleboard. Products made with these materials, furniture included, have to meet its emission limits and be labelled as compliant.

Rooms To Go asks each supplier to state, on every invoice, whether the goods contain composite wood and on what basis they comply.

The five codes

CodeMeaning
NWPNo wood packaging or composite wood
CCWCompliant composite wood
ECWExempt composite wood, naming the material
CSWCompliant, solid wood only
PCWProduct contains composite wood, compliant

With ECW, the exempt material is named after the code, for example "ECW, hardboard".

Where it goes in the invoice

In Rooms To Go's 810, the statement is a note segment, NTE*VEC, carrying the code (and, for ECW, the material). It sits alongside the other things their invoices require: your Remit To name and address, your payment terms, and a reference for each tracking number.

Setting it once in interSend

On a Rooms To Go connection, the TSCA statement is a setting chosen from the five codes, with a field for the exempt material when you pick ECW. Your payment terms in days and your Remit To address sit beside it. Every 810 then carries them, so nobody types a code into an invoice again. Preview shows the invoices the next run would send, with the statement in place, before anything goes to Rooms To Go.
