Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain heat treatment certification (HT stamp) mandatory for softwood to prevent pest issues under USDA APHIS rules
• Specify 'tight' construction in invoices with pressure test data to distinguish from loose barrelheads
• Avoid bundling with hoops; separate declarations prevent set classification under 4416.00.90
