Import Tips
• Provide detailed invoices specifying rough dimensions and Eucalyptus species to distinguish from finished lumber
• Obtain CITES permits if logs exceed certain diameters, as some Eucalyptus may trigger endangered species scrutiny
• Watch for moisture content declarations to prevent claims of partial drying qualifying as processed wood
