Import Tips
• Include detailed species documentation; larch often confused with pine, risking reclassification
• Ensure rough squaring doesn't exceed 'roughly squared' tolerances to avoid 4407 lumber classification
• Declare volume in cubic meters using Scribner or International 1/4-inch rules for accurate valuation
