Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'profiled lumber - not furniture parts' to prevent 9403 misclassification
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates for all nonconiferous hardwoods to meet USDA requirements
• Measure profile dimensions precisely; shapes > specific tolerances may qualify for different stats
