Import Tips
• Verify Pinus spp. species certification to confirm coniferous classification and avoid reclassification to non-coniferous codes
• Provide end-joint inspection documentation as Customs may scrutinize joint quality for 'end-jointed' eligibility
• Ensure moisture content below 19% with certificates to prevent pest/dimensional issues at entry
