Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Thuja spp. via phytosanitary certificate to confirm cedar classification and avoid reclassification
• Ensure no chemical treatments applied, as treated cedar shifts to 4407.19.01 subheading; document milling process
• Measure actual thickness post-sawing to exceed 6mm; common pitfall is edge-planing disqualifying 'rough' status
