Import Tips
• Obtain CITES documentation if applicable, though yellow cedar is not typically restricted; verify species with botanical certification
• Ensure proper fumigation certificates for coniferous wood to comply with phytosanitary regulations
• Declare exact dimensions and moisture content to avoid misclassification as finger-jointed or kiln-dried
