Import Tips
• Measure dimensions to ensure cross-sections remain 'roughly squared' (not precisely machined) to maintain rough wood status
• Label shipments clearly with species and rough condition to prevent misclassification as processed lumber
• Prepare for ISPM 15 compliance if logs will be temporarily stored before processing
