Import Tips
• Provide detailed profile drawings showing tongue/groove/rebate dimensions to confirm 'continuously shaped' status
• Label moisture content (typically <12%) and kiln-drying certification to meet building code imports
• Avoid classifying as flooring strips; ensure invoice specifies 'molding' not 'parquet strips' use
