Import Tips
• Confirm species (Thuja spp.) and source documentation; Western Red Cedar often exempt from CITES but verify
• Inspect for uniform thickness (typically 3/4-inch) and glue penetration to support edge-glued status
• Package to prevent aroma loss; vacuum-sealed prevents customs odor complaints
