Last updated: July 2026 dataRed meranti species — grouped under the Shorea genus — are widely traded Southeast Asian hardwoods used in joinery, plywood face veneers, and general construction. The single US tariff line 4407250000 covers dark red meranti, light red meranti, and meranti bakau sawn or chipped lengthwise, whether or not planed or sanded. Malaysia and Indonesia are the dominant global producers of meranti timber, and importers should be aware that some Shorea species are listed under CITES Appendix II, requiring export permits depending on the specific species and country of harvest.

Certain Shorea species are listed on CITES Appendix II, meaning their trade requires export permits from the country of origin. Not all meranti species are listed, so importers should verify the specific Shorea species in a shipment against the current CITES appendices and confirm permit status with the exporting country's Management Authority before importation.
The distinction is based on the specific Shorea species group: dark red meranti (e.g., S. pauciflora group) tends to be denser and darker, while light red meranti (e.g., S. almon group) is lighter in color and density. Both fall under HTS 4407250000, but buyers in joinery and plywood markets specify the grade because density and color affect workability and finishing characteristics.
