Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'bark-on rough logs' with volume measurements to support 4403 classification over processed categories
• Comply with USDA APHIS import protocols for hardwood logs to prevent emerald ash borer spread
• Avoid bundling with sawn pieces, as sets may trigger 'articles of wood' classification
