Import Tips
• Include engineering specs and dimensions in commercial invoice to justify 'piles' classification over general lumber
• Ensure compliance with local building codes; provide treatment certificates if pressure-treated post-import
• Avoid over-squaring; precise machining could reclassify to Chapter 44 sawn wood headings
