Import Tips
• Conduct species verification via DNA testing if requested by CBP to confirm Pterocarpus classification
• Declare exact dimensions; strips >118mm wide may face different statistical suffixes
• Watch for kiln-drying certificates; improperly dried wood risks ISPM 15 fumigation requirements
