Import Tips
• Verify all plies are wood (no bamboo) and measure outer ply thickness to confirm nonconiferous status; obtain mill certificates documenting species and dimensions
• Watch for misclassification as tropical wood under 4412.33; ensure proper fumigation for ISPM 15 compliance if palletized
