Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'spliced birch veneer for plywood' to prevent confusion with finished panels
• Maintain records of moisture content (typically <12%) as veneer warps easily during ocean transit
• Check for formaldehyde emission compliance if destined for US furniture markets
