Import Tips
• Include detailed grading reports (knotty vs clear) in entry docs to justify HTS and support accurate duty assessment
• Ensure edge profiling (rebated/chamfered) is documented; plain resawn boards without shaping revert to 4407.29
• Comply with Lacey Act by providing species declaration forms to trace Western red cedar origin
