Last updated: August 2026 dataTrue mahogany of the genus Swietenia — covering big-leaf mahogany (S. macrophylla) and related species — is regulated under CITES Appendix II, meaning commercial trade requires valid CITES export permits from the country of origin and CITES import documentation reviewed at the US port of entry. The single US tariff line 4407210000 covers sawn or chipped mahogany exceeding 6mm in thickness. Importers should coordinate with USDA APHIS and the US Fish & Wildlife Service on CITES permit compliance before shipment, as non-compliant consignments are subject to seizure.

Big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) is listed on CITES Appendix II. Importers must obtain a valid CITES export permit issued by the exporting country's Management Authority and present it to US Fish & Wildlife Service inspectors at the port of entry. Shipments lacking proper CITES documentation are subject to detention or seizure.
Species verification may require wood anatomy analysis or documentation from a certified timber identification laboratory, particularly when shipments originate from regions where substitute species are commonly sold under the 'mahogany' trade name. Binding ruling requests to CBP and species certificates from the exporting country's forestry authority are both useful tools for establishing correct classification.
