Import Tips
• Verify CITES documentation if species like Khaya is listed, as tropical woods often require permits for endangered species
• Provide mill certificates confirming thickness ≤6mm and tropical origin to avoid reclassification to thicker lumber
• Ensure proper fumigation certificates to meet phytosanitary import requirements for wood products
