Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'rough, not for immediate fuel use' to distinguish from agglomerated fuel products
• Comply with local biomass import regulations including heat treatment certifications
• Monitor binder content if any processing occurs post-import to prevent fuel wood reclassification
