Import Tips
• Verify smallest cross-sectional dimension is 15 cm or more via measurements; smaller sizes shift to other subheadings
• Provide documentation proving 'in the rough' state (not planed/squared beyond rough shaping) to avoid reclassification
• Include species certification for coniferous wood to prevent mixing with non-coniferous categories
