Import Tips
• Obtain waterproof adhesive certification and ensure okoume species compliance with Lacey Act declarations
• Label panels clearly with dimensions and wood species to prevent customs holds on tropical plywood
• Test for BS 1088 marine plywood standards if marketing as 'marine grade' to support valuation claims
