Import Tips
• Obtain fumigation certificates proving heat treatment to prevent import bans due to wood-boring insects
• Label shipments clearly as 'rough poles, not sawn' to avoid reclassification during customs inspection
• Check for pressure-treatment chemicals; untreated rough posts qualify, but treated may shift to 4418
