Import Tips & Compliance

• Label shipments clearly as 'plain coniferous dowel rods' with dimensions to distinguish from assembled parquet strips under 4409.10.10

• Conduct kiln-dry certification to prove compliance with ISPM 15 for wood packaging alternatives, avoiding fumigation delays

• Avoid bundling with hardware; loose rods only to prevent set classification under 4421.99
