Import Tips
• Ensure poles are only stripped of bark or roughly squared; further processing like planing or sanding may change classification
• Verify the species is Picea sitchensis and provide a botanical name on the commercial invoice
• Check with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for phytosanitary requirements, as raw wood may require treatment or certification
