Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis or supplier certification for stain composition to prove it qualifies as a 'preservative' under tariff terms
• Inspect for over-treatment; excessive paint-like coatings may shift classification to painted wood articles
• Declare exact species (e.g
• white oak) for accurate nonconiferous status and quota considerations
