Import Tips & Compliance

Verify cellular structure meets definition (honeycomb/foamed core) via cross-section samples to avoid misclassification as laminated panels

Provide mill certificates confirming 100% wood composition (no bamboo unless declared as woody material per Chapter 44 note)

Label species accurately (e.g

Fagus sylvatica for beech) to comply with Lacey Act declarations for protected woods
