Import Tips
• Obtain origin certificates specifying Eucalyptus species to prevent misclassification to generic coniferous codes
• Check for bark residue; incomplete stripping may trigger pest inspections under USDA APHIS rules
• Document end-use as fencing to support classification; avoid bundling with hardware to prevent set classifications
