Import Tips & Compliance

CITES paperwork mandatory for Swietenia even for aircraft use—no exemptions apply at import

Aviation certifications don't affect HTS classification; base on plywood construction specs only

Confirm core plies remain wood (not composite) to stay in 4412 rather than engineered wood headings
