Last updated: July 2026 dataSawn tropical hardwoods covered by subheading note 2 to Chapter 44 — including species such as ipe (2710290220), African mahogany/acajou d'Afrique (4407290206), keruing (4407290216), jatoba (4407290285), cedro (4407290260), andiroba, padauk, and aniegre — are classified here when sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled to thicknesses exceeding 6mm. Brazil, Malaysia, and Cameroon are the leading US import sources, reflecting the geographic range of tropical hardwood resources across South America, Southeast Asia, and West Africa. Many species in this heading are subject to CITES appendix listings or country-specific export controls, and US importers must comply with the Lacey Act, which requires declaration of the plant's scientific name, country of harvest, and quantity at entry. Species-level documentation is not optional — it is a legal requirement.

341 shipments/mo
The Lacey Act requires importers to file a Plant and Plant Product Declaration (PPQ Form 505) at entry, listing the scientific genus and species of each wood, the country where the plant was harvested, the quantity, and the value. For mixed-species shipments or products made from multiple species, each species must be declared. Failure to file or filing inaccurate declarations can result in civil penalties, seizure, and forfeiture, so working with suppliers who can provide verified chain-of-custody documentation is essential.
Yes — several species that may be classified here carry CITES listings. For example, certain mahogany species (Swietenia spp.) are listed under CITES Appendix II, requiring export permits from the country of harvest and import permits or documentation for US entry. Ipe (Handroanthus spp.) and other species are under active review for potential listing. Importers should verify the current CITES status of each species with USFWS before completing a purchase, as shipments without required CITES documentation are subject to seizure.
