Import Tips & Compliance

Verify wood is nonconiferous (e.g

oak, maple) via botanical certification to avoid reclassification to coniferous codes

Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming heat treatment (ISPM 15) to meet USDA APHIS requirements for firewood imports

Declare moisture content under 20% to qualify as seasoned fuel wood; high moisture may trigger pest risk scrutiny
