Import Tips
• Obtain coniferous species verification from accredited labs to prevent misclassification as non-coniferous
• Document rough squaring process; over-processing risks reclassification as sawn lumber
• Check for sapwood removal compliance; incomplete stripping may trigger fumigation requirements
