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
