Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests like hemlock woolly adelgid, required for all coniferous logs

Verify cross-sectional measurements exceed 15 cm to avoid reclassification to smaller dimension subheadings

Include species documentation as 'other hemlock' to distinguish from Hem-Fir mixes under 4407.14
