Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide harvest location proof; aspen from certain regions requires additional CITES-like documentation if mixed species
• Measure cross-sections precisely—overly uniform squaring risks reclassification as 4407 sawn wood
• Bundle securely to prevent shifting; loose bolts often flagged for inspection
