Import Tips
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests, crucial for cedar imports from Canada or Pacific Northwest
• Label bundles clearly with species, dimensions, and 'rough sawn' to facilitate Customs examination
• Monitor kiln-dried vs air-dried status as excessive drying may trigger treatment classification questions
