Import Tips
• FDA food contact compliance letter required; declare all wood treatments and internal finishes
• Species verification essential - hybrid chestnut vs imported European sweet chestnut affects phytosanitary rules
• Document historical reproduction status; replicas must still meet new cooperage construction standards
