Import Tips
• Ensure chain-of-custody documentation traces wood to sustainable Western red cedar sources
• Measure thickness precisely post-planing to confirm >6mm for 4407 classification over thinner veneers
• Separate from non-coniferous wood in mixed shipments to avoid entire cargo reclassification
