Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the wood has been densified via high-temperature compression to exceed 1.3 g/cm³ density, distinguishing it from regular wood under 4412

Provide lab test reports confirming densification process during customs entry to avoid reclassification

Check for CITES restrictions if using beech from protected regions; include origin certificates
