Import Tips
• Verify species documentation confirming Pinus spp. origin to avoid reclassification to other coniferous codes
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving treatment for pests, as required for unprocessed wood imports
• Measure diameters accurately; logs over certain sizes may trigger additional forest stewardship council (FSC) scrutiny
