Import Tips
• Confirm the S4S processing does not include any profiling (e.g
• tongue and groove), which would shift classification to heading 44.09
• Keep records of the surfacing process to demonstrate it remains within the scope of heading 44.07
• Check whether the wood qualifies for duty-free entry under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) if sourced from the U.S
