Import Tips
• Provide detailed dimension reports from measuring the smallest cross-section to confirm 4403.25.0152 classification
• Use licensed forestry exporters familiar with US hemlock import quotas and volume reporting
• Avoid sapwood removal beyond 'roughly squared' to prevent shift to sawn wood headings
