Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as required for coniferous logs under ISPM 15
• Verify species identification through botanical documentation to ensure classification as Abies spp. fir, avoiding reclassification
• Declare exact dimensions and moisture content to prevent disputes over 'rough' vs. processed status
