Import Tips
• Obtain third-party species verification for walnut (Juglans spp.) to prevent disputes at customs
• Document exact ply thickness and composition; exceeding 6mm per ply risks reclassification
• Beware of 'clear coat' vs transparent—ensure coating preserves grain visibility per subheading
