Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed machining diagrams showing grooves to confirm 'advanced in condition' status during customs review
• Label with exact maple species (e.g
• hard maple) to comply with Chapter 44 wood identification requirements
• Avoid bundling with planed-only rods; separate packaging prevents downgrade to lower-value classifications
