2. Species and grade: What grading agency or grade stamp is acceptable for “Grade 1”? Must the stamp identify Douglas fir specifically, or is Douglas Fir–Larch acceptable?
Any grade stamp from an independent inspection agency or grading association certified by the American Lumber Standard Committee (ALSC) Board of Review is acceptable.
Douglas Fir–Larch (marked as "DF-L" or "D. Fir-L") is fully acceptable, unless the structural design specifically calls out pure Douglas Fir.

3. Moisture and treatment: Is there a maximum moisture content or required kilndried designation? Please confirm the required heat-treatment marking and whether supporting treatment documentation must accompany the quote or delivery. All wood must meet ALSC and IPSM standards and regulations including HT standards (a minimum of 56 degree Celsius at the core for at least 30 consecutive minutes) and debarking requirements according to the specified end user.

Yes, the boards may be bundled and wrapped, providing none of them are exposed to the elements during shipping to the facility.
