Import Tips
• Include CAD drawings highlighting end-shaping and V-joint profiles to distinguish from plain lumber during customs review
• Obtain CITES permits if walnut species are restricted; declare exact scientific name for compliance
• Document kiln-drying process (under 19% moisture) to prevent pest issues and ensure APHIS clearance
