Or. Admin. Code § 603-052-1110 - Definitions

The following definitions apply to OAR 603-052-1100 to 603-052-1130:

(1) "Imported" means timber products from any source outside North America and includes those states in Mexico not adjacent to the United States. Also included are timber products brought into another state or states and subsequently shipped into Oregon. Shipments of untreated timber products transiting Oregon are not considered to be imported if they enter and leave the state without having been unloaded from their original conveyance and if they remain in Oregon less than 120 hours.

(2) "Person" means any federal, state or local government or government agency, political subdivision, individual, public or private corporation, partnership, association, firm, trust, estate, or any other legal entity whatever.

(3) "Untreated" means not previously treated so as to completely eliminate external and internal insect pests and plant pathogens. Timber products are considered untreated if they are treated in such a way that some, but not all, potential insect pests and plant pathogens are eliminated. For example, logs which are debarked and fumigated are considered untreated because fungi and insects deep within the wood could survive these treatments.

(4) "Treated" timber products are those that have been processed so as to completely eliminate all potential insect pests and plant pathogens, e.g. kiln-drying or sterilization by heat (at least 71.1° C for 75 minutes measured at the core).

(5) "Importer" is the person who takes first delivery in this state of imported, untreated timber products.
