Import Tips
• Use ISPM 15 certification if panels are palletized for export; fumigation marks prevent quarantine issues
• Document exact dimensions and species origin; mismatch leads to valuation disputes on metric vs. imperial sizing
• Ensure no metal fasteners embedded, as that could shift to Chapter 44 assembled wood products
