Import Tips
• Measure pole dimensions pre-shipment to ensure they fit utility specs without triggering 'worked' classification
• Obtain ISPM 15 certification if any minor fumigation occurred, though rough poles typically exempt
• Declare exact end-use to prevent misclassification as general construction timber
