Import Tips
• Obtain FSC or PEFC chain-of-custody certification for birch sourcing to facilitate customs clearance
• Declare exact face ply species (Betula pendula or pubescens) in commercial invoice to match subheading
• Watch for moisture content limits (under 12%) to prevent warping claims during inspection
