Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Fraxinus spp. with phytosanitary certificates to meet ISPM 15 standards
• Ensure rough state (not planed/sawn >118mm thick) to avoid reclassification to Chapter 44 headings 4407+
• Declare exact moisture content; over 20% may trigger additional fumigation requirements
