Import Tips
• Obtain exporter's declaration specifying 'fresh Douglas fir Christmas tree' to prevent reclassification as general foliage
• Ensure compliance with CITES if from certain regions; watch for needle drop during transit as evidence of non-freshness
• Use ISPM 15-compliant wooden stands to avoid fumigation delays at ports
