Import Tips
• Document species via CITES if applicable (rare for pine); use dendrochronology reports if origin disputed
• Roughly squared or round acceptable, but avoid chamfering that implies further processing
• Bundle securely for shipping; declare quantity by piece weight to match statistical reporting
