I have brought back pimento wood more than a few times
The experience that I have had is if it is shavings you will be ok, if you bring back pieces bigger than 2 inches in
Diameter, they get taken away from you, I have had it taken back from me a few times, pimento wood is very very hard
And even a using shaver tool is a lot of work, If you chop it into small sticks you should be ok, now just buy it online, it is nice and chipped very small
This is all for entry into Canada , elsewhere not sure
