Import Tips
• Photograph beading patterns and sanding finish for customs visual verification of profile shaping
• Poplar's light color requires clear species labeling to distinguish from similar nonconiferous woods
• Bundle by exact diameter/length to facilitate duty assessment; mixed sizes complicate valuation
