Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Sequoia sempervirens via phytosanitary certificate to confirm redwood classification
• Measure thickness to ensure >6mm and confirm 'rough' state (no planing/sanding) to avoid reclassification
• Declare as untreated; chemical treatments shift to other subheadings under 4407.19
