Import Tips & Compliance
• Include toast level specification and kiln-drying certificates; French oak requires proof of heat treatment for phytosanitary compliance
• Declare exact stave origin (e.g
• Allier, Troncais forest) as customs may scrutinize species for tariff shift rules under FTAs
• Avoid common pitfall of importing 'seasoned' barrels - any prior air-seasoning over 2 years may trigger used barrel classification
