Import Tips & Compliance

Provide detailed species documentation (Picea spp.) and end-use statements to justify rough wood status

Avoid over-squaring; dimensions must remain 'roughly squared' to prevent reclassification to sawn timber

Include heat treatment certificates for ISPM 15 compliance if destined for packaging material production
