Special packaging requirements for certain goods:
Please pack items such as pianos, ceramics, and crafts in wooden crates.
(1) Many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan, have strict regulations for unprocessed logs or logs in packaging. They must be sterilized in the country of export and accompanied by an accepted sterilization certificate for the importing country to accept the shipment. Otherwise, fines may be imposed or the goods may be returned to the country of export.
