Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming no pests; USAPIP treatment often required for oak logs
• Declare exact Quercus species in entry docs to avoid reclassification to general coniferous wood
• Avoid common pitfall of shipping debarked logs exceeding 20% processing, which shifts to sawn lumber HTS
