Import Tips
• Label shipments with scientific species name (Abies grandis) and rough dimensions to support HTS classification
• Check for CITES restrictions if logs exceed certain sizes, though most fir species are not listed
• Maintain chain-of-custody documentation for sustainably sourced wood to meet buyer and regulatory demands
