Import Tips
• Verify species identification via botanical certification to confirm cedar classification and avoid reclassification to other coniferous codes
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving bark/strip treatment per ISPM 15 to prevent pest quarantines at US ports
• Measure diameters precisely; logs under 6 inches may shift to HTS 4403.26.0045, altering duty rates
