Import Tips
• Obtain CITES documentation if logs exceed certain sizes, though hemlock is not typically restricted
• Label shipments clearly with species and rough condition to prevent reclassification as finished lumber
• Check for kiln-drying certificates if any partial processing occurred during transit
