Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as required for all unprocessed wood imports
• Verify species documentation to confirm cedar classification; misidentification can lead to reclassification under other coniferous codes
• Check for CITES Appendix II listing if from certain regions; provide export permits to avoid customs delays
