Strengthen Wood Products Supply Chain Act of 2025
This bill sets strict deadlines for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (under the Lacey Act) to handle imported plants (including wood products) suspected of violating wildlife import rules. It requires the government to release plants or issue a detailed detention notice within 5 days, provide clear reasons for delays, and finalize decisions within 30 days (or automatically release the plants if missed). Importers must pay fees and provide security to move detained plants for storage, and the government must share testing results and methods with importers. The bill aims to streamline the process for importers while maintaining Lacey Act enforcement, with no changes to the underlying wildlife protection rules.
