Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as required for coniferous lumber imports
• Verify species documentation proving Picea spp. origin to avoid reclassification to hemlock or fir mixes
• Declare exact moisture content and dimensions; exceeding kiln-dried thresholds may trigger ISPM 15 treatment rules
