Import Tips
• Measure pole dimensions pre-import to confirm they fit utility specs (e.g
• Class 1-10 per ANSI standards) supporting pole classification
• Include supplier declarations of species (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and rough state to prevent disputes with CBP over coniferous identity
• Avoid bundling with hardware like crossarms, as sets may shift to 4418 or Chapter 73 for assembled structures
