Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain ISPM 15 heat treatment certification if for packaging use; untreated rough wood may face fumigation demands at entry

Label with exact birch species and cross-section measurements to prevent misclassification as fuel briquettes under 4401.32

Avoid squaring or extensive shaping, as this could reclassify to 4407 sawn coniferous wood headings
