Import Tips
• Obtain ISPM 15 certification if logs require heat treatment for international shipping to comply with wood packaging regulations
• Provide affidavits of pulp end-use to customs; logs suitable for lumber may face higher duties under other codes
• Check moisture content documentation, as excessively dry wood might be considered partially processed
