Import Tips

• 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
