Import Tips
• Verify that the Lignum Vitae wood is from a tropical species, as it is native to the Caribbean and South America
• The frame should be classified as a wooden frame, not as a marine article, to ensure correct tariff treatment
• Provide the botanical name Guaiacum officinale on the invoice for clarity
