Import Tips
• Obtain ISPM 15 heat-treated stamps visible on all components to meet international wood packaging standards
• Document case dimensions and wood species to avoid reclassification as furniture if it has decorative features
• Avoid internal dividers made of non-wood if claiming solid sides; mixed materials may trigger different headings
