Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming Douglas fir treatment per ISPM 15 for wood packaging materials used in shipping

Document truss span ratings (e.g

Bundle with installation manuals to demonstrate end-use as roof trusses, preventing misclassification as flooring panels
