Import Tips
• Verify wood species origin documentation to comply with Lacey Act requirements for imported wood products
• Ensure dowel pins meet dimensional tolerances; customs may inspect for classification as 'plain' vs turned
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'veneer dowels' which shifts to different subheading
