Import Tips

• Verify face ply is specifically birch (Betula spp.) via botanical identification; provide mill certificates confirming species

• Document tropical wood content in outer plies to justify classification; avoid misclassification as non-tropical plywood

• Check for CITES restrictions if any tropical plies involve endangered species; ensure no obscuring surface coverings
