Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests like emerald ash borer, as required for oak imports
• Verify species identification via botanical documentation to confirm red oak (Quercus rubra) classification
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'squared' if only roughly hewn, which shifts to other subheadings
