Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain CITES documentation if from old-growth stands; noble fir can trigger endangered species scrutiny
• Ensure 'roughly squared' status with photos/measurements; over-processing risks reclassification as sawn lumber
• Check for sapwood removal; residual sapwood may require additional heat treatment
