Import Tips

• Verify species certification for birch (Betula spp.) face ply via CITES documentation if applicable, and measure thickness accurately for subheading compliance

• Ensure no opaque surface coverings; transparent varnishes allowed only if grain remains visible to avoid reclassification

• Provide mill test certificates confirming at least one outer ply is nonconiferous birch to prevent customs disputes
