Import Tips
• Provide detailed ply composition breakdown; customs often scrutinizes core vs face ply distinctions
• Avoid shipping with paper overlays that could be seen as surface covering, risking reclassification
• Pre-apply for binding ruling if blending multiple wood species to confirm 4412.34.32 status
