The Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. §§ 3371–3378) requires all importers to file a Plant and Plant Product Declaration (USDA PPQ Form 505) for any imported product containing plant material — including solid wood, lumber, plywood, wood furniture, paper, engineered flooring, and even musical instruments with wood components. The declaration must list the scientific name, country of harvest, and quantity of each plant species. Violations carry civil penalties up to $10,000/violation and criminal penalties up to $500,000 for knowing violations.
Canadian softwood lumber is subject to ongoing CVD and antidumping orders. As of 2026, combined CVD + AD rates for major Canadian softwood lumber producers range from approximately 8% to 24%, depending on the specific producer and province of origin. These duties stack on top of the USMCA 0% base tariff — a Canadian lumber product at 0% MFN can face 8%–24% effective total duty after CVD/AD. Check Commerce's AD/CVD case database (enforcement.trade.gov) for current cash deposit rates by company.
CITES Appendix I/II protected wood species requiring US Fish & Wildlife permits include: Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra — Appendix I, near-total trade ban), Honduras mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla — Appendix II, export permits required), African cherry (Prunus africana — Appendix II), and ebony (Diospyros spp. — Appendix II). Import of Appendix I species requires both a US Fish & Wildlife import permit AND an export permit from the country of origin. Failure to obtain CITES permits results in seizure.
TSCA Title VI (40 CFR Part 770) sets formaldehyde emission limits for composite wood products imported into or sold in the US: hardwood plywood ≤0.05 ppm, particleboard ≤0.09 ppm, MDF ≤0.11 ppm, thin MDF ≤0.13 ppm. Products must be certified by an EPA-accredited Third-Party Certifier (TPC) as equivalent to CARB Phase 2 standards. Importers must obtain TSCA Title VI certifications from suppliers before import — non-compliant products are subject to CBP detention and EPA enforcement.
Softwood lumber (HTS 4407.10): 0% MFN from most countries. Hardwood lumber (4407.91–99): 0% MFN. Plywood (4412 series): 0%–8% depending on face veneer species. Engineered wood flooring (4418.21): 3.2%–8%. Wood windows and doors (4418.10): 0%–4.8%. Wood furniture (9403.60): 0%. Note: Canadian softwood lumber faces CVD/AD duties despite 0% MFN tariff. Always confirm specific 8/10-digit HTS code as rates vary significantly by product form and species.
