Import Tips
• Verify species documentation for outer ply (alder) with certificates of origin to confirm nonconiferous hardwood classification
• Ensure all plies ≤6mm thickness; measure and document to avoid reclassification as thicker veneered panels
• Avoid opaque coatings; transparent finishes only, as they must not obscure grain per subheading requirements
