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
