Import Tips
• Obtain CITES documentation if Spanish cedar shipment exceeds de minimis thresholds to prove sustainable sourcing
• Verify all plies are wood sheets ≤6mm and face ply is authentically Cedrela spp. via botanical certification
• Avoid common pitfall of surface coverings that obscure grain, which would shift classification to 4412.32
