Import Tips
• Label with exact Fraxinus species and moisture content (typically <12%) to comply with import wood standards
• Inspect for proper end-jointing to prevent classification as unspliced veneer under 4408.90.00
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates to address ash borer quarantine restrictions
