Import Tips
• Provide milling certificates specifying peeling method and confirming no chemical treatments applied
• Measure thickness precisely post-import; if averaged below 6 mm, risks reclassification to 4408 veneer
• Avoid bundling with adhesives; pure wood state required to stay in sawn/peeled category
