Last updated: August 2026 dataA residual catch-all for untreated tropical hardwood logs and roughly squared timber not elsewhere specified under the tropical wood provisions of Chapter 44, this heading covers species such as iroko, sapele, and similar African and South American hardwoods. Nigeria and Guyana are the leading US suppliers, reflecting West African and Amazonian timber flows that are closely monitored under the Lacey Act's species-declaration requirements. Importers handling lesser-known tropical species should be especially diligent about obtaining verifiable scientific names and harvest documentation, as misidentification of species is a common compliance risk at entry.

Heading 440349 captures tropical hardwood species not specifically named elsewhere in Chapter 44 — examples include iroko, sapele, azobé, and various lesser-traded Amazonian species. If a shipment contains teak, it belongs under 440342; meranti and related species have their own dedicated headings. When the species is ambiguous, a binding ruling from CBP is advisable.
Because this heading aggregates many species, CBP and USDA APHIS may request laboratory identification to confirm the declared species and country of harvest. Misidentification — whether accidental or deliberate — can trigger Lacey Act penalties, so importers should obtain independent species verification from the exporter and retain chain-of-custody records.
