Import Tips
• Provide cooperage bevel angle specifications (typically 7-9°) to prove designed for barrel/tub assembly vs general lumber
• Fumigation certificate mandatory for redwood; West Coast species require specific heat treatment protocols
• Bundle count and assembly diagram essential - loose staves risk reclassification as 4407 sawn redwood
