Import Tips
• Verify smallest cross-sectional dimension exceeds 15 cm with precise measurements to avoid reclassification to smaller dimension subheadings
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming bark removal and treatment per ISPM 15 for coniferous wood imports
• Document species identification (e.g
• Douglas fir) accurately, as mixed coniferous may require S-P-F classification
