Import Tips
• Provide EPA-approved treatment labels and kiln-drying certificates; untreated wood risks fumigation delays
• Use ISPM 15 stamps for compliance; declare as 'rough' to avoid reclassification to higher-duty finished goods
• Watch for sapwood presence; fully stripped posts may edge toward 4407 sawn wood if too processed
