Import Tips
• 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
