Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'jatoba end-matched flooring strips' with botanical name to match subheading specifications
• Avoid common pitfall of shipping pre-oiled samples, which could trigger 4418 classification for finished products
• Use fumigation certificates compliant with ISPM 15 for wood packaging to prevent quarantine issues
