Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify species certification as Acer spp. maple via phytosanitary certificates to avoid misclassification
• Ensure bark/sapwood removal documentation if applicable; rough squaring must not exceed 'roughly squared' tolerances
• Check for kiln-drying status—dried wood may shift to 4407 if surfaced or planed
