Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as required for coniferous wood imports to prevent invasive species
• Measure log dimensions to confirm they meet 'roughly squared' criteria; overly processed logs may shift to sawn wood classifications
• Document end-use as pulpwood to avoid reclassification as general construction timber under different HTS codes
