Title: Entry Requirements for Certain Softwood Lumber Products Exported From Any Country Into the United States
Abstract: Amendment to title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) prescribing special entry requirements applicable to certain softwood lumber (SWL) and SWL products exported from any country into the United States. The SWL products subject to these entry requirements are those described in section 804(a) within title VIII (Softwood Lumber Act of 2008) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as added by section 3301 of title III, subtitle D, of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246, enacted June 18, 2008). Within title VIII, section 803 requires the President to establish and maintain an importer declaration program with respect to the importation of certain SWL and SWL products and prescribes special entry requirements whereby importers must submit the export price, estimated export charge, if any, and an importer declaration with the entry summary documentation. These amendments set forth the procedural and documentation requirements necessary to implement the entry requirements specified in the statute. The Act also established new recordkeeping requirements applicable to certain imports of softwood lumber home packages and kits that are subject to declaration requirements, but that are not subject to the softwood lumber importer declaration program of section 803 of the Act.
