Import Tips
• Include certificate of origin specifying French oak species, as this affects duty rates under preferential programs
• Confirm tight-grain stave construction meets cooperage standards to prevent reclassification as general wood articles
• Test for char level documentation if toasted; excessive processing may shift to Chapter 44 other worked wood
