Import Tips
• Verify species certification (e.g
• PEFC or FSC) as many markets require sustainable sourcing documentation for cedar products
• Check for proper thickness grading (e.g
• #1 blue label) to avoid reclassification as waste or scrap under 4401
• Ensure bundles are securely packaged for ocean freight to prevent breakage during transit
