Tropical Wood Veneer & Plywood Sheets (Other, Not Over 6mm) imports of $3.7M in April 2026 ran 33% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.8M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSourced primarily from Cameroon and Gabon, with Italy also a notable supplier, these thin-cut tropical hardwood sheets — sawn lengthwise, sliced, or peeled to no more than 6mm — serve as face and core stock for decorative plywood and high-end panel products. The US schedule breaks this heading into three 10-digit lines: unspliced sheets (4408390200), spliced or end-jointed sheets (4408390210), and all other veneer-thickness sheets (4408390291). Importers should verify species identity documentation carefully, as many tropical hardwoods are subject to CITES appendix controls or Lacey Act due-diligence requirements governing legality of harvest and chain of custody.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The Lacey Act requires importers to declare the genus, species, country of harvest, and quantity of plant material at entry. For tropical species from Cameroon, Gabon, or other African origins, maintaining a documented chain-of-custody from the forest concession through the mill is essential to demonstrate legal harvest and avoid enforcement action.
Line 4408390200 covers unspliced, non-end-jointed tropical veneer and plywood sheets; line 4408390210 covers sheets that have been spliced or end-jointed; and line 4408390291 covers all remaining tropical wood sheets at or under 6mm thickness. Correct classification depends on whether the sheets have been joined prior to importation, which affects both the tariff line and any applicable trade-remedy exposure.
