Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Ochroma lagopus with phytosanitary certificates to confirm balsa classification
• Provide documentation proving thickness exceeds 6 mm and sawn lengthwise to avoid reclassification to veneers
• Check for end-jointing; if present, ensure it meets 'end-jointed' allowance under heading 4407
