Import Tips

Verify coniferous species origin (e.g

pine, spruce) with supplier certificates to confirm HTS 4409 classification and avoid reclassification to tropical hardwoods

Ensure documentation shows sanding/grooving processes; basic rods without advancement fall under 4409.10.60.00, potentially altering duties

Check for FSC certification to meet U.S

Lacey Act requirements for wood imports, preventing customs delays
