Importers of Other Nonconiferous Wood in the Rough, Not Treated (NESOI) paid $22K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 3.41% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataNine dedicated 10-digit lines make this one of the most granular nonconiferous rough wood headings in Chapter 44, individually naming ash (4403990140), western red alder (4403990150), cherry (4403990155), maple (4403990160), walnut (4403990170), and paulownia (4403990175) alongside pulpwood, poles/posts, and a final NESOI catch-all. Canada leads US supply, followed by China and Costa Rica — a mix that spans North American hardwood species, Asian paulownia plantation timber, and Central American tropical hardwoods. Walnut and cherry logs in particular attract premium pricing for veneer and furniture applications, and their dedicated lines facilitate species-specific trade monitoring under the Lacey Act.

Paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa and related species) has grown rapidly as a plantation timber in Asia and is increasingly traded internationally for lightweight furniture, musical instruments, and construction. Its dedicated line reflects sufficient trade volume to warrant separate tracking, and it helps distinguish plantation-grown paulownia — primarily from China — from other nonconiferous species in the NESOI catch-all.
Beyond standard Lacey Act species and origin declarations, importers of high-value hardwoods like walnut and cherry should obtain chain-of-custody documentation from the exporter confirming legal harvest. For shipments from Canada, USMCA origin certification can support preferential duty treatment if origin criteria are met. A licensed customs broker should review entry documentation, particularly for mixed-species shipments that may span multiple 10-digit lines within 440399.
