Import Tips
• Verify species identification with botanical certification to confirm Sapelli (Entandrophragma cylindricum) for accurate HTS classification
• Obtain CITES Appendix II permit if required, as Sapelli is listed; include in import documentation to avoid customs delays
• Declare exact thickness and processing (sawn/planed); pieces ≤6mm may shift to 4408, common pitfall causing reclassification
