Import Tips
• Secure CITES Appendix II permits for Swietenia mahogany species with export and import documentation
• Provide grading certificates (e.g
• AA grade face) to justify declared value against undervaluation scrutiny
• Avoid bundling hardware; loose plywood stays in 4412, assembled furniture moves to Chapter 94
