Import Tips
• Include span rating stamps (e.g
• 24/16) in documentation; affects structural vs non-structural classification
• Provide species certificates confirming coniferous origin to prevent duty evasion claims
• Watch for CITES restrictions if any tropical species mixed in core, though rare for pine plywood
