U.S. exports of dark red meranti, light red meranti, and meranti bakau wood in the rough (HS 440341) totaled $6K in February 2026, traded with 1 country.
Meranti — encompassing dark red, light red, and Meranti Bakau varieties — is a commercially important tropical hardwood genus (Shorea spp.) sourced primarily from Southeast Asian forests and widely used in joinery, furniture, plywood, and marine applications. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit line, 4403410000, reflecting the consolidated treatment of these related species at the US tariff schedule level. Importers must file Lacey Act plant declarations identifying the specific Shorea species and country of harvest, as several Shorea species are listed under CITES Appendix II, which may require export permits from the country of origin. Supply-chain due diligence on legality of harvest is particularly important given ongoing enforcement scrutiny of tropical hardwood imports.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Several Shorea species — particularly those listed on CITES Appendix II — require a CITES export permit from the country of origin and a corresponding US import permit issued by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Importers should verify the specific species in their shipment against the current CITES appendices before entry, as not all Shorea species are listed, but misidentification or missing permits can result in seizure and penalties.
The Lacey Act requires a declaration for each plant species in the shipment, including genus, species, country of harvest, and quantity. For mixed-species meranti shipments where individual logs cannot be species-identified, importers may use the genus-level declaration (Shorea spp.) with the best available information, but this approach carries risk if enforcement scrutiny reveals a CITES-listed species was present without a permit. Species segregation and documentation at the point of harvest is the most defensible practice.
