Import Tips
• Label panels clearly with ply count, thickness, and species; mismatches lead to duty adjustments
• Use ISPM-15 compliant fumigation for wooden panels to meet phytosanitary import rules
• Avoid common pitfall of misstating outer ply species—customs labs test for accurate duty assessment
