ACQ-Treated Walnut Logs from China
Premium non-coniferous walnut logs treated with alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) preservative, roughly squared for high-end millwork feedstock. The chemical treatment provides enhanced rot resistance, and the rough squaring qualifies as minimal processing under tariff item 4403.12.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the ACQ treatment is documented with a certificate from the supplier to prove preservative application
• Verify that the logs are roughly squared and not further processed, as additional machining could change classification
• Declare the species (walnut) and treatment type accurately on the CBSA import documents
