Douglas Fir Railway Sleepers from United States
Douglas fir railway sleepers, unimpregnated and cut to standard railway dimensions, provide foundational support for railroad tracks. Their coniferous origin and lack of chemical treatment place them under tariff item 4406.11.00, which covers non-impregnated coniferous railway sleepers.

Import Tips
• Ensure the sleepers are not impregnated with preservatives; any treatment could reclassify them
• Verify the wood is coniferous (Douglas fir qualifies) and provide proof of species to the CBSA
• Consider the unit of measure (cubic metres) for accurate declaration
