Here is the terms,if you were to win the bid.By the looks of it very little of it actually got wet,(there is good pics of it at the site)so I am assuming that some of the stuff on the bottom is questionable. All of the printing on the bundles is in English,so i would assume it was for America or other english speaking countries. I am just surprised to see them shipping wood in from there and it being cost efficient to do so:

Condition
Per Seller: It was reported that subject container was abandoned by the shipper after they were delivered to the terminal for export purposes. During the ocean voyage the container was damaged and the cargo allegedly got wet. Due to the damages the container was drayed to a freight company, where the contents were transloaded into another container. Upon inspection moisture was found inside the shrink wrapped packaging and the wood was believed to be moldy. A silver nitrate test was performed on several pieces of the wood and two paper labels. All tests were negative for the presence of chlorides, which indicates that the wood was not wet by salt water. Please refer to the attached photos for details. Please bid accordingly.
