Import Tips

• Prepare advance Lacey Act import declarations detailing fiber origin, volume, and species for all tropical components

• Ensure transparent coating specs in technical data sheets; opaque paints disqualify from this grain-visible subheading

• Document flooring-specific machining (T&G profiles) to distinguish from structural plywood panels
