Import Tips
• Include CITES documentation if birch sourced from regions with trade restrictions; most Betula spp. are unregulated but verify origin
• Use caliper measurements certified by exporter for cross-section claims to defend against customs challenges
• Separate from spruce-pine-fir mixes, as S-P-F rough wood under 4407.13 note would change duty treatment
