Import Tips
• 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
