Import Tips
• Provide detailed species documentation; Red Ash requires confirmation as Fraxinus to avoid reclassification
• Check for splicing; spliced sheets must still meet 'veneering' criteria without exceeding thickness limits
• Comply with Lacey Act by declaring wood origin to prevent seizure at customs
