Import Tips
• Include bundle weight and dimensions on commercial invoice; faggots often scrutinized for volume-based valuation
• Confirm no chemical treatments; untreated natural wood only qualifies under this fuel wood subheading
• Check state-specific quarantines as birch can carry pests like bronze birch borer
