Import Tips
• Invoke hem-fir note for mixed hemlock-fir sourcing; no need for exact species breakdown
• Pair with proper COO docs; Western US species may trigger softwood lumber duties if misclassified
• Test for formaldehyde emissions if using urea resins; EPA TSCA compliance required for composites
