Import Tips
• Reference S-P-F definition in docs for mixed stands; species proportion variability is acceptable per notes
• Bulk ship in protected wrapping to prevent incidental surface damage that could trigger 'worked' classification
• Monitor MFN duty rates; low-density boards often qualify for GSP if from eligible countries
