Import Tips
• Verify species certification as nonconiferous hardwood like oak to avoid reclassification to coniferous codes
• Ensure rods meet 'plain' criteria - no coatings, paints or decorative profiles that could shift to other subheadings
• Provide detailed dimension specs and end-use declaration to prevent misclassification as finished components
