Import Tips

• Document wood species origin with fumigation certificates; birch requires phytosanitary compliance under international wood regulations

• Ensure no binders exceed allowed limits—pure wood plies only; inspect for delamination which could trigger quality disputes

• For EU/North American imports, pre-check CITES compliance if any ply approaches restricted species thresholds
