Import Tips
• Obtain fumigation certificates; tropical hardwoods often require ISPM 15 treatment for wood packaging
• Document moisture content (typically under 12%) to prove suitability as flooring, avoiding classification as rough lumber
• Use binding rulings from CBP for profiled tropical species to prevent disputes at entry
