Import Tips
• Document inner ply composition (Baltic birch) separately from Limba face to confirm 'sheets of wood' classification
• Inspect for binder content exceeding limits that could shift to agglomerated wood categories
• Label shipments clearly as 'Limba outer ply' to prevent customs disputes over tropical species identification
