Import Tips & Compliance

Document exact wood species (walnut as nonconiferous) and ply count/thickness to avoid disputes at customs

Transparent finishes must be tested not to obscure grain; provide lab reports to prevent reclassification

Label as 'engineered flooring' not 'hardwood' to match flooring definition; watch for moisture content rules
