Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Tsuga spp. (hemlock) via phytosanitary certificate to confirm HTS classification
• Ensure ISPM 15 compliance if for packaging use; rough lumber often requires heat treatment documentation
• Avoid common pitfall of moisture content misrepresentation; test for >19% to stay in rough category
