Import Tips
• Ensure rough squaring documentation shows no machine planing to maintain 'in the rough' status
• Check for CITES restrictions if species borders protected varieties; Western larch typically exempt
• Use calibrated tools for dimension verification to prevent customs disputes on 15 cm threshold
