Import Tips

• Verify that the posts are in the rough state and not further worked, as any sawing or drilling could change the classification

• Creosote-treated wood may be subject to Canadian environmental regulations—ensure the treatment complies with Health Canada's Pest Control Products Act

• Provide a declaration of the preservative used to facilitate CBSA clearance
