Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Virola (Pourouma spp.) via botanical identification to confirm tropical wood classification
• Provide fumigation certificate and phytosanitary documentation to meet USDA APHIS import requirements for sawn wood
• Declare exact thickness (>6mm) and processing (sawn/planed) to avoid reclassification to Chapter 44 veneers or Chapter 45 plywood
