Import Tips
• Verify species identification with phytosanitary certificates to confirm non-tropical status and avoid CITES restrictions
• Document moisture content and rough state to prevent reclassification as processed lumber under Chapter 44 headings 4407+
• Check for bark beetle risks; ensure ISPM 15 compliance if any rough processing occurred during transit
