Import Tips
• Coastal species like live oak require additional USDA APHIS inspection for emerald ash borer risks
• Bundle securely with steel straps; declare gross weight including bark residue if any remains
• Avoid shipping with sapwood intact over 10% as it may trigger higher scrutiny or reclass to stripped category
