Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming poplar/aspen species and heat treatment per ISPM 15 for fumigation compliance

• Verify thickness exceeds 6 mm with caliper measurements; thinner boards shift to Chapter 44 veneers

• Include mill certificates documenting sawn lengthwise process to avoid reclassification as rough wood under 4403
