Last updated: August 2026 dataAsh lumber's commercial profile has shifted significantly due to the widespread devastation of North American ash stands by the emerald ash borer (EAB), making imports increasingly relevant to supply chains for tool handles, sporting goods, and furniture. All sawn ash over 6 mm thick enters under a single line (4407950000). Canada remains the leading supplier, but Turkey, Lithuania, and Estonia — sources of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) — have grown in importance as buyers seek alternatives to depleted domestic stocks.

USDA APHIS has established domestic quarantine zones for EAB movement of ash material within the US, but import requirements focus on phytosanitary certificates from the exporting country attesting that the wood is free from regulated pests. Importers should confirm current APHIS import conditions for ash from each specific origin country before shipment, as requirements can vary.
European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and North American white ash (Fraxinus americana) have similar mechanical properties — high shock resistance and flexibility — making them largely interchangeable for handles and bats. European material from suppliers in Turkey and the Baltic states is increasingly specified by manufacturers as domestic white ash availability tightens due to EAB impact.
