About This Section
Section IX covers wood and wood products (Chapter 44), cork (Chapter 45), and manufactures of straw, esparto, and plaiting materials (Chapter 46). The Lacey Act is the primary compliance concern — all wood imports require a declaration identifying the scientific name of the species, country of harvest, and quantity. ISPM 15 phytosanitary treatment is required for wood packaging materials. Anti-dumping duties apply to certain Chinese wooden products (cabinets, vanities, hardwood plywood). Duty rates for wood products are generally moderate (0-8%), with many unfinished wood products entering duty-free under MFN and FTA preferences.
