Import Tips
• Include chain-of-custody documentation tracing to sustainable hemlock forests for Lacey Act compliance
• Measure moisture content; overly dry logs risk reclassification as partially sawn
• Declare exact species (Tsuga mertensiana) to differentiate from true fir under other subheadings
