Import Tips
• Verify mahogany species certification (Swietenia spp. or Khaya spp.) via CITES documentation if applicable for endangered listings
• Confirm no ply exceeds 6 mm thickness and surface is clear/transparent to maintain classification
• Avoid misdeclaration as tropical hardwood; provide mill test certificates for species and origin
