Import Tips

• Include detailed processing records showing slicing/peeling methods to distinguish from rough sawn wood

• Comply with Lacey Act by declaring all wood product contents and sources accurately on import paperwork

• Test for moisture content as high humidity can lead to rejection at ports for mold prevention
