Import Tips & Compliance

Verify species documentation proving birch (Betula spp.) face ply and at least one tropical wood inner ply to avoid reclassification

Provide mill certificates confirming no surface covering obscures grain; common pitfall is mislabeling transparent coatings as 'clear'

Check CITES permits if tropical plies include restricted species like teak or mahogany
