Import Tips
• Short lengths still qualify as rough if unsplit; declare intended firewood use to avoid lumber scrutiny
• High resin content in Ponderosa requires ventilated containers to prevent mold during transit
• Local splitting post-import common; avoid pre-splitting which triggers sawn wood duties
