Import Tips & Compliance

Label packages clearly with dimensions, species (Hem-Fir if mixed), and processing to match statistical reporting requirements

Watch for kiln-drying documentation, as overdried wood may crack and face quality claims post-import

Use ISPM-15 compliant pallets for shipping to avoid fumigation delays under USDA regulations
