Import Tips
• Obtain origin certificates confirming Populus tremuloides to distinguish from other aspens that might classify differently
• Check for bark/sapwood removal compliance; incomplete stripping could trigger pest inspections
• Avoid bundling with metal hardware, as sets may reclassify under composite goods rules
