Import Tips
• Verify species certification as fir (Abies spp.) or spruce (Picea spp.) via phytosanitary certificate to meet 4403.23 requirements
• Measure smallest cross-sectional dimension precisely (must be 15cm+) before shipment to avoid reclassification
• Include ISPM 15 treatment documentation if heat-treated to prevent pest issues at US ports
