Import Tips
• Document grip design (T vs straight) as it confirms canoe usage; straight grips may be mistaken for kayak paddles
• Ensure ISPM-15 compliant heat treatment certification for wooden paddle shipments to avoid quarantine
• Break down composite wood species in entry docs; basswood often blended with harder species for durability
