Import Tips
• Include luthier specifications confirming instrument end-use to support plywood vs parts classification
• Document vibration/resonance testing if marketed as tonewood to prevent reclassification as finished wood
• Bundle with CITES if Schizolobium listed; many tonewoods require endangered species permits
