Import Tips
• Verify length measurement at import (4m+ required); bundles under 4m shift to other subheadings
• Obtain CITES permits if species like Calamus caesius are protected; check exporter country quotas
• Inspect for transverse cuts which disqualify from 'in the rough' classification; document as whole lengths
