Import Tips

• Confirm cedar is coniferous (e.g

• Western red cedar) via CITES documentation if applicable, preventing misclassification

• Ship in bulk packs without retail packaging to stay in 4409, avoiding 4421 retail goods

• Monitor moisture content logs to ensure under 15% for stability claims during import
