Forestry Protection Act of 2026

This bill would cut by half the tariffs and import fees placed on certain imported finished wood products under specific trade laws, if the importer shows U.S. Customs and Border Protection that the product is made entirely from raw wood that came from the United States. Customs would have 90 days to write rules for carrying this out, including steps to verify claims and prevent fraud. The bill would also bar the President from imposing or changing tariffs or import restrictions on finished forestry products under these trade laws unless the change is published in the Federal Register at least 90 days before it takes effect. That notice would have to list the rate, the legal basis, the affected products, the reason, and the start date, and allow at least 60 days for public comments.
