Import Tips
• Verify finger-jointing meets end-jointed specifications and obtain mill certificates confirming coniferous species and dimensions over 6mm
• Provide phytosanitary certificates to prove heat treatment (ISPM 15) for wooden packaging materials used in shipment
• Avoid misclassification as dimensional lumber under 4407.11 if not finger-jointed; inspect end joints carefully
