Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Paulownia spp. via phytosanitary certificates to confirm HTS 4403.99.0175 classification
• Ensure bark/sapwood removal documentation if stripped, avoiding reclassification to sawn wood under 4407
• Watch moisture content; overly dry wood may shift to kiln-dried categories
