Import Tips
• Include manufacturer specs showing compression process and final density to confirm 4413 classification over unfinished lumber
• Declare as 'in the rough' if not machined beyond profile; overworking risks shift to Chapter 44 finished goods headings
• Ensure phytosanitary certificates for poplar to prevent quarantine issues at US ports
