Import Tips & Compliance

Verify each ply thickness does not exceed 6mm and confirm at least one outer ply is from specified nonconiferous woods like oak via mill certificates

Document that any surface covering is clear/transparent and does not obscure grain; provide lab tests if challenged by Customs

Avoid misclassification as finished flooring (4418.30) by ensuring panels require on-site installation and finishing
