Steamed Beech Logs for Turning from United States
Lightly steamed Fagus spp. logs over 15 cm in cross-section for lathe turning stock, with bark removed. The logs are in the rough state, not squared or further processed, and the steaming only prevents checking. This qualifies under tariff item 4403.93.00 as wood in the rough of beech meeting the size threshold.

Import Tips
• Ensure the steaming does not constitute further processing beyond preventing checking; if the logs are kiln-dried or otherwise treated, classification may change
• Confirm the smallest cross-sectional dimension is at least 15 cm and that the wood is in the rough state
• Be prepared to provide species documentation and comply with CFIA requirements for untreated wood imports
