Import Tips
• Marine piles require treatment certificates; untreated rough piles must prove compliance with importing country's quarantine rules
• Document intended end-use as structural piles to avoid reclassification as general dimension lumber
• Watch for diameter variations - piles under 150mm often misclassified as posts vs true foundation piles
