Import Tips
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests, especially for cedar imports from Canada or South America
• Label bundles clearly as 'sawn palings' not 'fence panels' to prevent reclassification
• Check for kiln-drying documentation if moisture content affects duty or admissibility
