Import Tips
• 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
