Import Tips
• Include CITES documentation if logs exceed sustainable harvest thresholds for Cupressaceae species
• Measure cross-sections accurately; smallest dimension ≤15cm may classify under smaller log subheadings
• Segregate from hemlock/fir mixes; contamination risks 'Hem-fir' reclassification under 4407.14
