Import Tips & Compliance
• Label shipments clearly as 'pulpwood only - not for sawmilling' to support correct HTS classification during customs inspection
• Ensure chain-of-custody documentation traces from forest to pulp mill to avoid misclassification as fuelwood
• Comply with CITES if species origin nears protected areas, though lodgepole pine typically exempt
