Import Tips
• Include grading certificates (e.g
• NHLA standards) to support value declarations and prevent undervaluation claims
• Separate rough vs. surfaced lumber in invoices; surfaced (planed) still 4407 if not profiled
• Monitor kiln-dry stamps; undried tropical wood risks pest quarantines under PPQ regulations
