Import Tips
• Obtain species verification from accredited labs for okoume to confirm tropical classification and avoid misdeclaration penalties
• Include formaldehyde emission test results (CARB Phase 2 compliant) as required for plywood imports into the US
• Check for binder content if any agglomeration involved, though standard plywood uses laminating adhesives
