Import Tips
• Verify species certification through documentation proving western red cedar origin to avoid reclassification
• Ensure compliance with US building codes (e.g
• ASTM D3161 for wind resistance) and include test reports
• Watch for kiln-drying requirements; untreated shingles may face phytosanitary restrictions
