Import Tips
• Include fumigation certificates to meet USDA APHIS requirements for tropical hardwoods preventing pest importation
• Label shipments clearly with exact species name and dimensions to prevent CBP reclassification during inspection
• Check for end-jointing; if present beyond simple end-matching, it may require statistical suffix review
