Painted Hemlock Sawn Timbers from Japan
Painted hemlock sawn timbers, measuring 6x8 inches and exceeding 6 mm in thickness, are used for structural beams. The planed surfaces are painted with a preservative primer to enhance weather resistance. As coniferous wood sawn lengthwise and treated with paint, these timbers fall under this tariff item.

Import Tips
• Ensure the paint or primer does not change the essential character of the wood, as heavily worked wood may be classified elsewhere
• Have documentation showing the species (hemlock) and dimensions
• If the timbers are for structural use, ensure they meet Canadian building code requirements
