Import Tips
• Verify species compliance with CITES if using tropical hardwoods like mahogany to avoid delays
• Include detailed sawn dimensions and treatment certificates (e.g
• ISPM 15) for fumigation
• Avoid classifying as 'assembled' if pickets are bundled loose; this leads to incorrect duty rates
