Lumber & Flooring
Lacey Act compliant wood and engineered flooring imports for builders and distributors.
Lumber and flooring imports sit at the intersection of environmental law, agricultural regulation, and trade policy. The Lacey Act, APHIS phytosanitary rules, and tariff actions like Section 232 and AD/CVD orders on softwood lumber all converge on these products. We handle the compliance complexity so you can focus on your construction and distribution business.
Lacey Act Declarations
The Lacey Act requires importers to declare the genus and species of all plant material, country of harvest, quantity, and value. For engineered flooring with multiple wood species in different layers, this means multiple declarations per product. We file PPQ 505 declarations via APHIS message sets in ACE, ensuring full compliance.
Engineered Flooring Classification
Properly classifying engineered wood flooring is critical—the line between raw lumber (Chapter 44) and builder's joinery (Chapter 44, subheading differences) can mean a significant duty rate change. We specialize in high-volume construction material classification and handle the nuances that trip up general-practice brokers.
Softwood Lumber AD/CVD
Canadian softwood lumber is subject to active AD/CVD orders with regularly changing deposit rates. We track the latest administrative review results and ensure proper duty deposits, helping you avoid both overpayment and costly underpayment penalties at liquidation.
