Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Obeche (Triplochiton spp.) with CITES documentation if required for tropical hardwoods
• Ensure profile matches 'continuously shaped' criteria; plain sawn boards classify elsewhere
• Provide mill certificates confirming nonconiferous tropical origin to avoid misclassification
