If not squared and left in log/round form
Round, untreated nonconiferous logs without rough squaring are fuel wood or rough wood under 4401, not specified posts.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label shipments clearly with treatment type (e.g
• ACQ, CCA) and retention levels to comply with EPA and customs verification
• Measure dimensions pre-import to confirm 'post' sizing (typically 4-6 inches square) vs. poles or piles
• Avoid bundling with hardware attachments, as assembled fence kits may classify under different chapters
