Import Tips
• Verify species certification via phytosanitary certificates to confirm Populus nigra origin and compliance with ISPM 15 fumigation standards
• Declare exact moisture content and dimensions; exceeding rough-squared limits may reclassify to finished lumber under Chapter 44
• Avoid bark residue over 3% by volume to prevent pest interception and customs delays
