Import Tips
• Provide origin certificates proving sustainable sourcing for cedar to comply with Lacey Act declarations required for all wood imports
• Measure blade dimensions to confirm canoe-specific proportions (typically 8-10 inch width); kayak paddle teardrop blades may shift classification
• Label clearly as 'canoe paddle' not 'oar' or 'kayak paddle' to prevent CBP disputes at entry
