Import Tips
• Include species certification specifying Pinus sylvestris to match the pine (Pinus spp.) subheading requirement
• Document intended end-use as telegraph poles to distinguish from general construction posts
• Avoid bundling with treated poles, as mixing can trigger full shipment reclassification and delays
