Import Tips

• Verify species is coniferous (e.g

• pine) via botanical identification certificates to avoid reclassification to non-coniferous codes

• Ensure rods meet 'plain' criteria—no stains, paints, or preservatives exceeding basic machining—to prevent shifts to 4418.xx for treated wood

• Provide mill certificates showing moisture content under 19% for coniferous wood to comply with phytosanitary requirements
