Import Tips
• Verify wood species documentation to confirm nonconiferous classification; pine must be certified as non-coniferous
• Ensure phytosanitary certificates comply with USDA APHIS requirements for wood imports to prevent pest introduction
• Label shipments clearly as 'wood siding' to avoid misclassification as lumber under Chapter 44 headings
