Import Tips
• Obtain ISPM 15-compliant fumigation certificate if for packaging use; untreated status requires verification
• Provide botanical identification documentation confirming Larix spp. to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact moisture content (<20% typical for sawn lumber) to prevent valuation disputes
