Import Tips
• Document species identification (cedar is coniferous) with botanical certificates to prevent misclassification
• Ensure posts measure standard fencing sizes (e.g
• 6-8 ft lengths) and remain roughly squared only
• Include phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests, especially for cedar susceptible to wood borers
