Import Tips
• Use stamped grading labels from recognized bodies like ANSI O5.1 for utility pole standards
• Separate shipments of treated vs untreated poles to avoid mixed classification issues
• Prepare for length inspections; utility poles often exceed 10m, impacting freight and duty calculations
