Last updated: April 2026 dataPoplar and aspen lumber over 6 mm thick serves as a cost-effective hardwood alternative in furniture frames, pallet components, and light construction, valued for its workability and light weight. The US schedule separates yellow poplar (4407970072) — a commercially distinct Appalachian species (Liriodendron tulipifera) — from other poplar, aspen, and cottonwood species (4407970079).

AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Line 4407970072 specifically covers yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), which is botanically distinct from true poplars (Populus spp.) despite the common name. It is denser and more dimensionally stable than most Populus species, commanding a price premium for furniture and millwork. Importers should ensure mill documentation uses the correct botanical name to support accurate classification.
Imports of wood products from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers sourcing poplar or aspen lumber from China should confirm the current Section 301 status for the applicable HTS line with a licensed customs broker before contracting, as coverage and rates under Section 301 have been subject to ongoing review and modification.
