Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify CITES documentation for teak origin to confirm plantation-harvested status and avoid wild-harvest restrictions

• Label furniture with exact wood species (Tectona spp.) and country of harvest for US Customs compliance

• Inspect for kiln-drying certificates to prevent pest issues like wood-boring insects during import
