These untreated coniferous beams are sawn lengthwise without planing, sanding, or end-jointing, making them suitable for structural timber framing. They fall under tariff item 4407.11.00 as pine wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm.

Import Tips
• Ensure the beams are free of bark and visible insect damage, as CBSA may require a phytosanitary certificate
• Declare the exact dimensions and species (Pinus strobus) to avoid reclassification
• Verify whether the beams meet Canadian lumber standards for structural use, as building code compliance is separate from tariff classification
