Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'Narra/Padauk profiles for flooring' with species scientific name to avoid misclassification
• Ensure moisture content <12% with certificates to prevent pest issues under USDA APHIS rules
• Avoid bundling with fittings; sets with metal components may require 4418 classification
