Import Tips
• Obtain ISPM 15 heat treatment or fumigation certification to meet phytosanitary requirements for coniferous wood imports
• Verify species documentation proving fir (Abies spp.) or spruce origin to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact dimensions and rough state; smooth-sawn posts shift to finished lumber headings
