Import Tips

• Verify the outer ply species via CITES documentation if endangered tropical wood to ensure compliance with US Fish and Wildlife Service requirements

• Provide mill test certificates confirming tropical wood content and adhesive type to avoid reclassification as non-tropical plywood

• Measure panel thickness accurately; exceeding certain limits may shift to different subheadings under Chapter 44
