Import Tips
• Include Lloyd's certification documents proving marine quality standards compliance for smooth customs clearance
• Test for BS 1088 standards if marketed as yacht-grade; non-compliant panels risk rejection in marine trade channels
• Declare density accurately (typically 680 kg/m³ for Baltic birch); variances affect strength calculations and classification support
