Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the smallest cross-sectional dimension is at least 15 cm and confirm Pinus spp. origin via supplier certificates to avoid reclassification

Provide phytosanitary certificates proving treatment under ISPM 15 for bark/strip status to meet USDA import requirements

Declare as 'in the rough' accurately; squaring beyond rough-cut risks shifting to finished lumber headings
