Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Abies spp. or Picea spp. via phytosanitary certificates to meet ISPM 15 standards
• Document bark removal process and ensure no sapwood stripping for accurate 'other' classification
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as planed lumber, which shifts to HTS 4407
