Import Tips
• Document end-jointing process; excessive joints may trigger review as 'reconstructed' under other headings
• Measure thickness precisely post-processing; sanding alone doesn't change classification if ≤6mm
• Include fumigation certificates for Ash to meet ISPM 15 standards during import
