Importers of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) with Both Outer Plies of Coniferous Wood paid $704K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $6.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAll-coniferous LVL — where both face and back veneers are softwood species — is classified under a single line (4412490000) and is widely used in North American platform-frame construction for beams and headers. Canada dominates supply, which is commercially logical given integrated North American softwood supply chains and USMCA trade flows. Finland and Germany are also notable sources, reflecting European spruce- and pine-based LVL production.

Classification under 441249 is determined by the outer-ply species, not the core. If both outer plies are coniferous, the product falls here regardless of interior veneer composition. Importers should retain mill documentation specifying the species of each veneer layer to support this classification if questioned by CBP.
Goods originating in Canada and meeting USMCA rules of origin are eligible for USMCA preferential tariff treatment. Importers should obtain a valid USMCA certification of origin from the Canadian supplier and ensure the product meets the applicable tariff shift or regional value content requirement before claiming the preference.
