HR 7157 United States House · 118th Congress

Strengthen Wood Product Supply Chains Act

The Strengthen Wood Product Supply Chains Act amends the Lacey Act to create clearer procedures for inspecting imported wood products, wildlife, fish, and plant materials. It requires government officials to notify importers within 5 days of detaining goods, detailing the reason for inspection, expected duration, and test methods. The bill mandates that officials must release or seize goods within 30 days, and failure to act is treated as a seizure. Importers can then request administrative reviews or file lawsuits to challenge unjust detentions.
