Import Tips
• Include fumigation certificates if required for coniferous wood to meet phytosanitary standards
• Document sanding process to prove 'fully sanded on at least one face but not further processed' status
• Avoid misdeclaration of ply count or thickness, as exceeding 6mm per ply moves it out of this subheading
