White lauan, white meranti, white seraya, yellow meranti, and alan are light-colored Shorea-group hardwoods from Southeast Asia, valued in the plywood, door skin, and light joinery industries for their workability and pale face appearance. This subheading (440726) has no children in the current US schedule, so classification falls at the 6-digit level without further domestic subdivision — importers should confirm the applicable 10-digit line with CBP or a licensed customs broker. As with other Shorea species, CITES listing status varies by species, and due diligence on export permit requirements is recommended.

The absence of US-specific 10-digit subdivisions under 440726 means these species are captured at the 6-digit HS level without further domestic tariff differentiation. Importers should verify the current applicable 10-digit statistical suffix with CBP's online tariff schedule or a licensed customs broker, as schedule updates can add or modify lines.
Both are pale Shorea-group species, but 'lauan' is the Philippine trade name while 'meranti' is the Malaysian/Indonesian designation for overlapping or related species groups. In practice, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably in the US market, but the specific species and country of origin should be documented for both classification accuracy and CITES compliance purposes.
