Creosote Douglas Fir Railway Ties from Japan
Creosote-treated Douglas fir railway ties, sawn to 8x10x8 feet and exceeding 6 mm in thickness, are used for railroad track support. The creosote pressure treatment preserves the wood for outdoor and ground-contact use. As coniferous wood sawn lengthwise and treated with preservatives, these ties fall under this tariff item.
