Import Tips
• Verify CITES documentation as cumaru is tropical hardwood; obtain species-specific certificates from Brazilian exporters
• Ensure precise measurement of edge shaping to confirm 'continuously shaped' status; unprofiled lumber falls under 4407
• Label with exact scientific name (Dipteryx spp.) and country of origin to prevent CBP reclassification
