Import Tips
• Verify documentation proving the face ply is birch (Betula spp.) and at least one outer ply is tropical wood, as per Chapter 44 notes on wood identification
• Confirm no opaque surface covering; transparent finishes are allowed only if they do not obscure grain—include lab test reports if challenged by customs
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring ply thickness; measure each ply ≤6mm and provide mill certificates to prevent reclassification
