Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Abies spp. (fir) via phytosanitary certificates to confirm HTS 4403.24.0165 classification
• Ensure documentation shows 'in the rough, roughly squared' state; planed edges may shift to 4407
• Check for bark/sapwood removal compliance with ISPM 15 fumigation standards to prevent quarantine issues
