Import Tips & Compliance

Include mill specifications confirming pulp end-use to prevent CBP reclassifying as general fuelwood or sawlogs

Measure moisture content documentation; pulpwood over 50% moisture may face additional quarantine scrutiny

Bundle logs securely with metal straps to avoid shifting during ocean transit, common pitfall for round wood
