Import Tips & Compliance

Verify wood is coniferous and remains in the rough (not planed/surfaced) to avoid reclassification to Chapter 44 sawn wood

Provide certificate of origin specifying species like Pinus spp. and confirm no sapwood removal beyond stripping

Check for ISPM 15 heat treatment marking if fumigation required for agricultural entry
