Import Tips
• Label as 'roughly trimmed blanks' to prevent misclassification as finished walking sticks in Chapter 66
• Include CITES documentation if walnut species are restricted, though most are nonconiferous and unregulated
• Inspect for straightness; bent sticks may qualify under different worked wood categories
