Import Tips
• Document exact shaping processes (tongued, grooved, etc.) to distinguish from rough sawn lumber
• Check for end-jointing; excessive length may trigger length-based reclassification in statistical notes
• Avoid bundling with hardware as sets, which could shift to Chapter 83 or 94 classifications
