Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests like pine beetles, as required for coniferous logs
• Verify log dimensions meet '15 cm or more' criteria with measurement documentation to avoid reclassification
• Check CITES status if logs appear near protected areas, though Douglas-fir is not listed
