Import Tips
• Verify the pine species (Pinus spp.) documentation to confirm coniferous classification and avoid reclassification to other softwoods
• Provide evidence of rough state (not machined or treated) as sapwood removal alone doesn't change classification; include processing certificates
• Check for phytosanitary certificates to prevent quarantine issues common with imported rough wood poles
