Last updated: August 2026 dataHardwood lumber — oak, maple, walnut, cherry, tropical species, and other broadleaf woods sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled to thicknesses exceeding 6 mm — serves the furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and millwork industries as a primary raw material. Tropical hardwood species within this heading may be subject to Lacey Act declaration requirements and, for CITES-listed species, import permit obligations administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Unlike coniferous lumber, this heading is not currently subject to broad antidumping or countervailing duty orders, though individual species or origins may carry other trade-remedy exposure.

Importers must file a USDA APHIS Plant and Plant Product Declaration listing the scientific genus and species name, the country where the wood was harvested, the quantity, and the value. For mixed-species shipments, each species must be declared separately. Failure to file or filing false information can result in civil penalties or criminal prosecution.
Hardwood sliced or peeled to 6 mm or less — such as veneer sheets — falls outside this heading and is classified under wood veneer headings. The 6 mm cutoff is measured at the thinnest point of the piece, so importers of decorative sliced wood should verify thickness carefully to avoid misclassification between sawn lumber and veneer categories.
