Import Tips
• Ensure posts qualify as 'fence posts' via intended use documentation; general posts may classify differently
• Avoid any machine squaring beyond rough hand-shaping to maintain 'in the rough' status
• Declare exact coniferous species (e.g
• Thuja plicata) for accurate tariff application
