Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify species certification as Western red cedar via phytosanitary certificate; ensure no chemical treatments to qualify as 'not treated'

• Document moisture content under 19% for ISPM 15 compliance if applicable

• Beware of edge-trimming which may reclassify as planed
