Import Tips
• Provide species certificates from accredited labs confirming Fagus spp. to avoid disputes over beech authenticity
• Include end-joint documentation if applicable; excessive jointing may trigger review for Chapter 44 assembled wood
• Check for CITES restrictions on certain beech provenances; most European beech is unrestricted
