U.S. imports of other tropical hardwood lumber, sawn or chipped lengthwise (HS 440729) totaled $18.1M in April 2026, traded with 42 countries.
Importers of Other Tropical Hardwood Lumber, Sawn or Chipped Lengthwise paid $25K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 7.8% on $327K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSpanning a diverse roster of named tropical species, this subheading captures hardwoods listed in Chapter 44's Subheading Note 2 that do not have their own dedicated HS6 heading — including ipe (4407290220), jatoba (4407290285), padauk and andiroba (4407290240), cedro (4407290260), keruing (4407290216), acajou d'Afrique/African mahogany (4407290206), and aningre/aniegre (4407290211). Ipe, a Brazilian hardwood renowned for extreme hardness and weather resistance, is a dominant species in the US decking and boardwalk market. All entries under this subheading are subject to Lacey Act plant declaration requirements, and several species — particularly those from CITES-listed genera — may require additional export permits depending on the specific botanical identity.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Ipe (Handroanthus spp., formerly Tabebuia) is not currently listed on CITES appendices, so no CITES permit is required. However, Lacey Act plant declarations are mandatory, and importers should obtain harvest permits and chain-of-custody documentation from Brazilian suppliers, as Brazilian export controls on native timber species are enforced independently of CITES.
The US schedule under 440729 lists specific named species at the 10-digit level; species not individually named fall under the residual 'NESOI' (not elsewhere specified or included) lines such as 4407290296. Importers should identify the botanical genus and species of the wood, cross-reference it against the named lines, and use the NESOI line only if no specific line applies. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for species where classification is ambiguous.
