Import Tips
• Verify species documentation (e.g
• CITES certificate for certain oaks) and measure exact dimensions to confirm end-matching qualifies under this subheading
• Provide mill certificates showing moisture content below 12% and fumigation treatment per ISPM 15 for wooden packaging
• Avoid misclassification as assembled flooring (4418.30); ensure strips are unassembled and end-matched only
