Import Tips
• Include mill certificates confirming nonconiferous species and no bamboo content, per chapter note on woody materials
• Document sanded/planed finish to differentiate from rough sawn wood; pitfalls include undervaluation based on unfinished status
• Ensure packaging labels specify 'flooring strips' not 'lumber' to support 4409 classification
