Import Tips
• Certify wood treatments to ISPM 15 standards for pallets and slats to clear USDA inspections at ports
• Document farm-only use to avoid reclassification as general livestock trailers under different tariffs
• Inspect for sharp edges or protrusions that could trigger animal welfare compliance issues during customs review
