Import Tips
• Obtain species verification from accredited labs confirming Pseudotsuga menziesii content to justify the specific Douglas fir subheading
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'finished' if only touch sanded—specify processing level in entry docs
• Prepare for potential inspection; store samples showing natural grain visibility and no additional coatings
