Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'rough fence rails, nonconiferous' to prevent misclassification as poles or stakes
• Conduct moisture content tests; levels above green wood thresholds may require additional declarations
• Separate from walking stick blanks in shipments to avoid commingling under mixed heading rules
