Import Tips & Compliance

Confirm moisture content below 15% with supplier certificates to prevent mold issues during import inspection

Label clearly as 'new staves for tight cooperage' to distinguish from loose hoops or heads under same subheading

Check for ISPM-15 compliance if staves were bundled for shipping; non-compliant wood faces fumigation delays
