Import Tips
• Verify the face ply is genuine walnut (Juglans spp.) with CITES documentation if applicable for endangered species
• Provide mill certificates confirming core construction as blockboard (softwood strips) and tropical wood outer ply
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no opaque surface covering that obscures the walnut grain
