Import Tips

• Swietenia mahogany requires CITES Appendix II permits—include both export and import documentation with entry

• Request supplier species verification matching Swietenia spp. exactly, as misidentification leads to seizure

• Maintain records showing clear/transparent surface treatments only, as opaque finishes change tariff treatment
