Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Pinus spp. coniferous wood to avoid reclassification to other coniferous moldings
• Ensure shaping is continuous along edges/faces; machined profiles must match HTS description exactly
• Provide mill certificates showing no chemical treatments that could shift to Chapter 44 impregnated wood
