Import Tips
• Verify species certification as birch (Betula spp.) via CITES documentation if required for sustainable sourcing
• Ensure milling records confirm continuous shaping (tongue/groove) and nonconiferous classification to avoid reclassification
• Provide end-use declaration as flooring material to distinguish from general lumber under 4407
