Import Tips
• Conduct species verification via lab testing if mixed hardwoods to ensure accurate declaration under hardwood categories
• Maintain records of glue type (e.g
• PVA, under 3% binder) to distinguish from agglomerated products in other headings
• Watch for kiln-drying certificates; improper drying leads to warping claims and customs holds
