Import Tips
• Verify CITES permits for teak species to ensure compliance with endangered species regulations
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving the wood is free from pests and bark residue
• Avoid over-squaring logs, as dimensionally precise cuts shift classification to sawn lumber under 4407
