Beech Crook Wood in the Rough from Mexico
Naturally crooked beech (Fagus spp.) branches in rough form, with bark partially stripped, intended for use as bentwood furniture stock. These branches are not squared or further processed, and their natural curvature is a valued characteristic for steam bending in furniture manufacturing. They fall under tariff item 4403.94.00 as 'other' beech wood in the rough, as they are not covered by any more specific subheading.

Import Tips
• Ensure the wood is free of bark and pests to meet CBSA phytosanitary requirements; a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) import permit may be required
• Declare the wood as 'rough, not squared' to avoid misclassification under processed wood headings
• Keep records of the species (Fagus spp.) and origin to support the tariff classification
