Import Tips
• Verify treatment certification documents proving creosote application meets preservative standards
• Ensure phytosanitary certificates confirm no pests, as treated coniferous wood requires ISPM 15 compliance
• Avoid misclassification by confirming wood remains in rough state, not sawn or planed
