Import Tips
• Conduct species testing if mixed conifer sources; 'S-P-F' mixtures may reference 4407.13 notes but remain 4401.21 for particles
• Avoid packaging that suggests retail lumber use, which could trigger reclassification
• Declare exact particle size distribution to confirm not qualifying as pellets under 4401.31
