Import Tips
• Include CITES documentation if tropical species like Okoume trigger endangered wood restrictions under US import rules
• Label clearly as 'not surface-covered' or specify transparent coating type; mismatches lead to duty disputes
• Test for formaldehyde emissions if destined for interior use—comply with TSCA Title VI even pre-import
