Import Tips
• Verify species certification as balsam fir (Abies balsamea) via phytosanitary certificates to meet ISPM 15 standards and prevent quarantine issues
• Measure cross-sectional dimension precisely (15cm+ required); smaller logs shift to other subheadings
• Document bark removal process; fully unstripped logs may require fumigation
