Import Tips
• Include fumigation certificate (methyl bromide or heat treatment) mandatory for coniferous rough wood
• Label shipments clearly as 'rough fence posts' to prevent customs confusion with dimension lumber
• Check for bark/strip status; incomplete sapwood removal may trigger additional inspections
