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
