Import Tips
• Conduct species verification testing if origin is disputed, as walnut can border on restricted categories requiring Lacey Act declarations
• Document layer composition (veneer thickness, core material) to support classification as assembled panels vs. simple plywood
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing based on unfinished appearance—declare pre-finished UV oil coating value accurately
