Import Tips

Verify CITES documentation for Dark Red Meranti as it's a regulated tropical species; obtain export permits from origin country

Provide detailed ply composition and thickness certifications to confirm all plies ≤6mm and outer ply identification

Avoid misclassification by ensuring no opaque surface coverings that obscure wood grain, which could shift to other subheadings
