Import Tips
• Include mill certificates showing moisture content <12% and kiln-drying records; excess moisture risks rejection
• Label shipments clearly as 'Sapelli' with scientific name to prevent misclassification as generic tropical wood
• Avoid mixing species in containers; CBP inspections often re-sample mixed tropical shipments, causing delays
