Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Use precise measurements in entries; diameters over tolerances may classify as rods under different codes

โ€ข Obtain CITES permits if cedar species is restricted; most western red cedar is exempt but verify

โ€ข Package to prevent damage; splintered pins risk rejection as defective goods
