Import Tips
• Reference 'S-P-F' documentation for mixed spruce-pine-fir origin as defined in 4407.13 note (applicable by analogy)
• Moisture content testing (<10%) critical; high moisture risks reclassification or rejection
• Use 1-ton supersacks for efficiency; avoid small consumer packaging to minimize marking requirements
