Import Tips & Compliance
• Pre-cut sizes for pencil production still classify as plywood, not finished goods; avoid 9609 pencil classification
• Document end-use as pencil slats if audited, but primary classification based on plywood construction
• Ensure no binder exceeding specs that might reclassify as agglomerated wood products
