Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Fraxinus spp. with phytosanitary certificates to comply with US plant protection regulations
• Ensure thickness documentation ≤6mm; exceeding this shifts to sawn lumber headings
• Label moisture content and declare if end-jointed to avoid misclassification as finished panels
