Import Tips
• Verify CITES documentation for Merbau as it's a tropical species; non-compliance leads to seizure
• Provide mill test certificate confirming outer ply is tropical wood and flooring end-use
• Avoid misclassification as general plywood (4412.31); specify 'wood flooring' on commercial invoice
