Import Tips

Verify species certification (e.g

oak) via ISPM 15 or phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA APHIS wood import rules

Provide detailed engineering drawings showing end-shaping and dimensions to confirm classification under 4409.29.06.65

Avoid misclassification as assembled flooring (4418.30); ensure strips are unassembled and include moisture content documentation
