Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify outer ply species documentation (e.g

• oak certification) as CBP requires proof of nonconiferous hardwood listed in subheading

• Measure all plies to confirm none exceed 6mm; mismeasurement leads to reclassification under other plywood headings

• Include mill test certificates showing no bamboo content to avoid disputes under chapter notes
