I just imported an Icon from Russia. The package was full of powder when I opened it. There is apparently no exterior damage but because the Icon is covered with an Oklad (metal cover which cannot be removed) I don't know how to proceed.

Thank you for putting so much information on the internet.I am a furniture maker that has been buying wood from a local sawmill and have been very pleased.
