Douglas Fir Engineered I-Beam from United States
This is a structural I-beam engineered from Douglas fir glulam flanges and a laminated veneer lumber web, designed for load-bearing applications in commercial building frameworks. It qualifies as builders' joinery and carpentry of wood under tariff item 4418.83.00 because it is a prefabricated I-beam made of wood, not a solid sawn timber product. The engineered composition and structural purpose align with the scope of this tariff item.

Import Tips
• Ensure the I-beams are classified as engineered wood products and not as solid lumber, as this affects the tariff classification
• Verify that the glulam flanges and LVL web meet Canadian construction standards (e.g
• CSA O86) to avoid CBSA delays
• Keep detailed product specifications and mill certificates handy for customs inspection
