Import Tips
• Use CITES documentation if any ply species are restricted (e.g
• certain oak); declare accurately to avoid delays
• Label as 'plywood for flooring' not 'finished floor' to prevent shift to higher-duty 4418 categories
• Test for moisture content (<12%) as flooring standard; high moisture risks warping claims at entry
