The Softwood Lumber Act of 2008 (SLA 2008) affects importations of certain softwood lumber and softwood lumber products imported into the U.S. from all countries. The SLA 2008 requires importers of the covered lumber products to provide on three additional data elements on the entry summary. The three data elements are:
- the export price
- the estimated export charge, if any
- an importer declaration
CBP published a list of HTS numbers to assist the trade community in identifying goods potentially subject to the Act. Please note that the tariff numbers are not the only tools necessary to determine if goods are subject to the Act. Importers should consult the SLA 2008 Section 804(a) and 804(b) for products included and excluded by the Act.
