Import Tips
• Verify CITES documentation as Ipé is a tropical species; provide species certificates from approved exporters
• Ensure end-matching and edge profiling meets 'continuously shaped' criteria to avoid reclassification to rough wood
• Label with exact scientific name (Tabebuia or Handroanthus spp.) and country of harvest for customs compliance
