Import Tips & Compliance

• Include fumigation certificates if bark remains to comply with USDA APHIS regulations

• Document chain of custody for FSC certification to qualify for preferential tariff treatments

• Avoid over-squaring; excessive processing risks reclassification as sawn lumber under 4407
