Import Tips
• 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
