Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming no pests or diseases per ISPM 15 standards for untreated hemlock
• Verify species documentation as Tsuga spp. to avoid reclassification; provide mill certificates
• Watch for end-jointing which may shift to different subheading; declare exact moisture content
