U.S. imports of engineered wood member manufacturing (NAICS 321215) totaled $118.5M in July 2026, traded with 66 countries.
Importers of Engineered Wood Member Manufacturing paid $5.7M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $42.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataEngineered wood members — including laminated veneer lumber (LVL), parallel strand lumber (PSL), laminated strand lumber (LSL), and I-joists — are precision-manufactured structural components designed to replace solid sawn lumber in floor systems, headers, beams, and long-span applications. These products are engineered to specific load-bearing performance values rather than graded by visual inspection, and their acceptance in US construction markets depends on ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) reports or equivalent third-party structural approvals. Because engineered wood members are often produced to proprietary specifications, importers must ensure that foreign-manufactured products carry recognized structural certifications accepted by US building officials.

Imported LVL, PSL, LSL, and I-joists typically require an ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) report or equivalent third-party evaluation demonstrating compliance with applicable structural performance standards. Without recognized certification, building inspectors may reject the product on-site, creating costly project delays.
Engineered wood members are manufactured by bonding wood strands, veneers, or fibers under heat and pressure to achieve specific structural properties, distinguishing them from sawn dimension lumber. This manufacturing process places them in different HTS chapters than solid sawn lumber, and the correct classification depends on the specific construction method (e.g., laminated veneer vs. parallel strand vs. composite I-joist flange material).
