Import Tips
• Verify species origin documentation to confirm coniferous classification; pine must be Pinus spp. to avoid reclassification
• Ensure chips meet 'wood in chips or particles' definition - not compressed or bound exceeding subheading limits for pellets
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates to prevent pest issues common with unprocessed wood chips
