Import Tips
• Ensure compliance with USDA APHIS regulations for coniferous logs, including heat treatment or fumigation certificates
• Provide origin certificates specifying harvest region to qualify for any preferential tariff treatments
• Avoid over-squaring logs, as excessive processing could shift classification to sawn wood under 4407
