Import Tips

• Use precise species declaration (e.g

• Douglas fir) on commercial invoices to match coniferous criteria and avoid 4409.20 hardwood reclass

• Bundle in lengths over 36 inches to clearly differentiate from pegs, reducing audit risks

• Include fumigation certificates if not kiln-dried, as coniferous wood requires phytosanitary treatment
