Import Tips

• Provide origin certificates proving Baltic/Finnish birch sourcing, as customs may scrutinize species identification for this statistical suffix

• Test for moisture content (should be 6-12%); excessive moisture can lead to warping claims and reclassification disputes

• Document glue type (e.g

• interior vs exterior phenolic); exterior grades may require different treatment declarations
