Import Tips
• Obtain CITES certification if logs exceed regulated volumes; Western hemlock is not typically Appendix-listed but verify origin
• Provide phytosanitary certificate confirming no bark/stripwood pests; fumigation may be required for ISPM 15 compliance
• Measure cross-section accurately—logs under 15cm shift to 4403.25.0100; declare exact species to avoid reclassification
