Import Tips
• Provide fumigation certificates if not heat-treated; coniferous wood requires proof of pest-free status
• Label packages with species (spruce) and dimensions; avoid mixing sizes to prevent valuation disputes
• Watch for reclassification if rods exceed typical dowel lengths and resemble lumber
