Import Tips
• Use finger-jointing documentation if applicable, as it qualifies as end-jointing under HTS definitions
• Conduct pre-shipment grading to match 'other' category specs, avoiding disputes over planed/sanded claims
• Bundle in stable packaging to prevent warping, a common issue triggering CBP re-inspections
