Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain CITES certification if the tropical wood species is listed, as many like Okoume require export permits from origin countries
• Verify all plies are wood sheets ≤6mm thick and declare exact species of tropical outer ply for accurate classification
• Avoid misclassification as bamboo plywood (4412.39) by confirming no bamboo content; common pitfall with mixed Asian suppliers
