Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'rough Ponderosa pine timber' with exact dimensions to prevent misclassification as processed wood
• Secure CITES documentation if logs exceed certain diameters, though Ponderosa pine generally exempt
• Avoid partial planing; any machined surfaces may reclassify to Heading 4407 sawn lumber
