Import Tips
• Provide detailed measurements and photos during customs entry to prove cross-section meets 15 cm minimum
• Check for bark/sapwood removal documentation; fully processed wood may require reclassification
• Ensure compliance with USDA APHIS rules for untreated wood to avoid quarantine holds
