Import Tips

• Confirm that the Hem-fir mix meets the subheading note definition (Western hemlock and fir, unknown proportions) and document this in your import paperwork

• Ensure all plies are wood sheets not exceeding 6 mm thickness

• Check if the header is part of a prefabricated building, which would fall under Chapter 94 instead
