This bill would cut certain import taxes and fees on finished wood products by 50 percent. To qualify, an importer must prove to U.S. Customs that all the raw wood used came from the United States. The bill also sets rules for public notice and comment before import taxes on wood products can change.
Companies that send American timber abroad for manufacturing and import the finished products back are most directly affected. Businesses or individuals who pay import taxes on finished wood goods would also be affected.
Importers who can prove their products used 100 percent U.S. raw wood would face a lower tax rate than those who cannot. Without proof, the full import tax still applies.
