Import Tips
• Verify CITES documentation if sen sourcing raises endangered species concerns, though Kalopanax is generally non-restricted
• Provide mill test certificates confirming ply thickness ≤6mm and sen face ply species identification
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no opaque surface coverings that would shift classification to 4412.39
