Import Tips
• Obtain species-specific invoices naming 'Ochroma lagopus' to prevent customs disputes on tropical wood subheading
• Avoid over-sanding that could imply 'worked' status pushing to Chapter 44 headings 4418+
• Bundle securely; loose planks risk damage claims and reclassification if deemed 'articles'
