Import Tips
• Source from FSC-certified suppliers if targeting green building markets; include chain-of-custody docs
• Test for dimensional stability post-import as Baltic birch responds to humidity changes
• Avoid bundling with adhesives exceeding 3% binder content to maintain pure veneer classification
