Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests, as required for coniferous logs from Canada or abroad
• Verify smallest cross-section exceeds 15 cm with measurements; smaller dimensions shift to other subheadings
• Declare species precisely as Thuja plicata to avoid reclassification; provide CITES documentation if applicable
