U.S. imports of laminated veneer lumber (lvl) with at least one tropical wood outer ply (HS 441241) totaled $449K in June 2026, traded with 5 countries.
Importers of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) with at Least One Tropical Wood Outer Ply paid $45K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $449K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Laminated veneer lumber with a tropical-species face is a structural engineered wood product used in beams, headers, and rim boards in residential and commercial construction. A single 10-digit line (4412410000) covers all imports under this heading, so classification itself is straightforward, but importers must verify that tropical species comply with the Lacey Act's plant-origin declaration requirements. Indonesia and Vietnam are the dominant suppliers, reflecting Southeast Asia's established LVL manufacturing base using tropical hardwood veneers.

All wood product imports are subject to Lacey Act declaration requirements. Importers must file a Plant and Plant Product Declaration (PPQ 505) identifying the genus, species, country of harvest, and quantity of the wood component. For tropical-faced LVL, this means accurately declaring the tropical veneer species, which can be challenging when multiple veneer layers originate from different sources.
Yes — LVL is an engineered lumber product manufactured to specific structural grades and is governed by product standards (such as ASTM D5456) rather than plywood grading rules. For US building-code compliance, LVL must carry an evaluation report (e.g., ICC-ES) confirming design values, regardless of the outer-ply species. This is separate from the HTS classification question.
