Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide blueprints or specs showing hoop dimensions match standard barrel sizes to prove coopers' product status
• Avoid bundling with staves in shipments, as sets may classify under assembled articles in 4418
• Check for kiln-drying certificates; undried softwood risks quarantine and reclassification as rough wood
