Import Tips
• Confirm the poles are from Abies spp. and not other conifers; misdeclaration of species can lead to reclassification
• Ensure no machining, such as drilling or shaping, has been done beyond rough squaring
• Prepare a detailed packing list and consider pre-arrival review with CBSA for large shipments
