Import Tips

Verify species certification as Western red cedar via ISPM 15 or phytosanitary certificates to meet 4409.10.10.20 criteria and avoid reclassification

Ensure documentation specifies 'resawn bevel siding' with edge shaping (tongue/groove) as unworked wood falls under 4407.29

Check for kiln-drying treatments; untreated lumber may trigger additional fumigation requirements under USDA APHIS rules
