Import Tips
• Provide detailed blueprints of profiling to customs; micro-bevels must show continuous shaping for correct HTS
• Comply with formaldehyde emission standards if any binders used, though solid cumaru typically exempt
• Batch test for density (cumaru ~900kg/m³) to distinguish from lighter tropicals
