Import Tips
• Obtain heat treatment or fumigation certificates for debarked logs to meet APHIS bark regulations
• Document log diameters and lengths; oversized logs may trigger different valuation methods
• Avoid over-debarking; partial bark retention keeps classification as 'in the rough' vs processed wood
