Import Tips

• Label shipments clearly identifying sen (Kalopanax) species to avoid misclassification as generic tropical plywood

• Conduct pre-shipment inspections for ply count and thickness to confirm compliance with 'sheets of wood' criteria

• Watch for binder content if any adhesives used; excessive binders could reclassify as agglomerated products
