Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) via botanical documentation to match subheading requirements
• Measure and document smallest cross-sectional dimension (must be ≥15cm) on commercial invoice to avoid reclassification
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming bark/sapwood treatment to meet USDA import regulations for unprocessed logs
