Section 232 Wood Imports

Lacey Act and APHIS compliance for raw and engineered lumber.

Importing wood products into the United States merges complex agricultural restrictions with aggressive trade tariffs. Mismanaging this cross-section of regulatory agencies often results in cargo seizures, environmental fines, or severe punitive tariffs.

Engineered Wood Flooring

We specialize in precisely classifying high-volume construction materials. We regularly handle engineered wood flooring imports, deciphering exactly when the material crosses the threshold from raw lumber (Chapter 44) to builder's joinery, avoiding misclassification flags from CBP.

Lacey Act Declarations

To combat illegal logging, the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) strictly enforces the Lacey Act. Importers must declare the exact scientific name (genus and species) of the wood, its value, and the country of harvest. We actively integrate these complex APHIS message sets directly into our entry summaries, keeping your supply chain flowing without interruption.
