Import Tips
• Include detailed photos and technical specs showing V-jointing to prove continuous shaping requirement
• Label moisture content (<12%) to comply with phytosanitary standards for wood flooring imports
• Avoid bundling with adhesives exceeding minor quantities to prevent reclassification as assembled goods
