Import Tips

• Use CITES documentation if cherry species approaches protected thresholds; most common varieties exempt

• Document exact shaping process (V-joint only) to differentiate from assembled or machined goods

• Bundle in non-retail quantities to avoid reclassification as consumer-ready packaged flooring
