Import Tips
• Require CITES documentation if walnut sourced from regulated regions; verify Juglans spp. species certification
• Ensure face ply meets 'not surface-covered or transparent only' criteria to avoid reclassification to surface-covered subheadings
• Provide detailed layer composition and thickness specs; common pitfall is mislabeling core plies as face plies
