Import Tips
• 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
