Import Tips

• Verify all plies are ≤6mm thick and at least one outer ply is Douglas fir via mill certificates to avoid reclassification

• Document wood origin and species testing, as coniferous composition affects duty rates; common pitfall is misidentifying Pseudotsuga menziesii

• Check for any surface covering; only clear/transparent non-obscuring materials allowed, or it shifts to surface-covered subheadings
