Import Tips
• Conduct core sampling if needed to prove blockboard construction (solid wood strips) vs. standard plywood for Customs verification
• Label clearly with species, thickness, and 'grain visible - no surface covering' to facilitate entry processing
• Monitor origin country quotas; Brazil may have export limits on Araucaria species products
