Import Tips
• Include waterproofing test reports if treated, confirming treatments don't constitute surface covering under HTS rules
• Declare exact ply count and species origin; mixed tropical woods may require different statistical suffixes
• Check country-specific quotas on tropical plywood imports and maintain chain-of-custody documentation
