Import Tips
• 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
