Import Tips
• Verify CITES documentation if the tropical wood species like meranti is listed, as many tropical hardwoods require permits
• Ensure accurate ply composition labeling to confirm at least one outer ply is tropical wood per subheading requirements
• Avoid misclassification by confirming no opaque surface covering that obscures grain, texture, or markings
