Last updated: September 2026 dataPoplar, aspen, and cottonwood logs and poles are grouped together in this heading, reflecting their botanical and commercial overlap, with six 10-digit lines distinguishing pulpwood, poles/piles/posts, yellow poplar (tulipwood), and general poplar/aspen/cottonwood by both form and treatment status. Yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is commercially distinct from true poplars and aspen, and its dedicated lines (4403970065, 4403970075) reflect its importance to the Appalachian hardwood lumber and furniture industries. Canada leads US supply, with Serbia also recorded — an origin that reflects European black poplar and hybrid poplar plantation production.

Yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is botanically unrelated to true poplars (Populus spp.) but is commercially grouped with them in trade. It is a high-value Appalachian hardwood used in furniture, cabinetry, and millwork, commanding different pricing than aspen or cottonwood. Separate tariff lines allow CBP and trade analysts to track this commercially distinct species independently.
The Lacey Act requires a species-level declaration for all wood imports, so the commercial invoice and PPQ 505 form should specify the scientific name (e.g., Populus tremuloides for quaking aspen, Populus deltoides for cottonwood). Physical form — short billets for pulpwood versus longer round pieces for poles — also supports classification. When species are mixed in a single load, each component should be declared separately.
