Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming the wood is heat-treated or fumigated to meet ISPM 15 standards

• Verify barrel volume and stave thickness documentation to confirm classification as new coopers' products

• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no prior use; used barrels fall under different subheadings
