Import Tips

Even if treated, ensure declaration specifies 'in the rough'; chemical treatment doesn't change rough classification if not squared

Include fumigation/treatment certificates; US Customs requires proof against pests for all coniferous imports

Measure cross-section precisely at thinnest point—under 15 cm shifts to general pine rough wood subheading
