Import Tips
• Verify CITES documentation as cumaru is a tropical species; ensure species identification certificates from exporter
• Confirm exact shaping meets 'end-matched' criteria; measure tongue/groove dimensions to avoid reclassification to unfinished lumber
• Label with precise scientific name (Dipteryx spp.) and country of origin to comply with Lacey Act declarations
