Import Tips

• Obtain mill certificates specifying birch (Betula) outer ply and total panel dimensions to support customs declaration

• Avoid bundling with thicker panels; uniform sizing prevents mixed classification issues at entry

• Label as 'not surface covered' or 'transparent coat only' to match tariff description and prevent duty disputes
