Import Tips & Compliance

African Khaya mahogany typically doesn't require CITES but verify species certificates to distinguish from restricted Swietenia

Measure and document all individual ply thicknesses to confirm ≤6mm compliance for this subheading

Avoid phenolic resins or opaque paints on face ply to prevent movement to surface-covered plywood categories
