Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the plywood's outer ply is clearly non-coniferous (e.g
• birch) and that no opaque surface covering obscures the grain, as this affects classification
• Declare the thickness and dimensions accurately on your CBSA import documents
• Verify if a valid forestry import permit is required for the wood species
