Last updated: May 2026 dataTeak (Tectona grandis) is one of the most tightly regulated tropical hardwoods in international trade, with shipments frequently scrutinized under the Lacey Act, which requires importers to declare the species, country of harvest, and legality of origin. Classified under a single 10-digit line (4403420000), rough teak enters the US primarily from Panama and India, reflecting the shift of plantation-grown supply away from Southeast Asian natural forests. Importers should be prepared to document chain-of-custody through CITES-compliant paperwork where applicable, as teak from certain origins may be subject to export restrictions in the country of harvest.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The Lacey Act requires importers to file a Plant and Plant Product Declaration (PPQ 505) at entry, disclosing the scientific name, country of harvest, and quantity. For teak, demonstrating legal harvest is critical because several source countries restrict or ban log exports.
Heading 4403 covers wood in the rough — logs, poles, and roughly squared pieces — while sawn or planed teak falls under heading 4407. The key distinction is whether the wood has been processed beyond debarking or rough squaring; any further dimensioning typically moves it to 4407.
