Import Tips
• Include detailed jointing diagrams and photos in entry docs to prove end-jointing compliance
• Label shipments clearly as 'walnut veneer ≤6mm' to facilitate CBP inspection and avoid sampling delays
• Check for kiln-drying certificates to confirm moisture content under 12% as required for veneer stability
