Import Tips
• Submit mill certificates confirming planing/sanding and bevel resawn specs to validate 4409.10.10.20
• Watch for over-length shipments; end-jointed pieces may qualify but require proof of continuous shaping
• Declare moisture content (<19%) to avoid quarantine issues for coniferous imports
