Import Tips
• Label with precise species (maple/poplar) and ply thickness; HTS requires accurate wood content declaration
• Watch for moisture content; excess may lead to warping claims or reclass as waste wood
• Commercial invoice must specify 'not surface-covered' or 'transparent only' to match subheading
