Addressing the Threat to National Security From Imports of Timber, Lumber, and Their Derivative Products

This executive order initiates a national security investigation into timber, lumber, and wood product imports under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. It expresses concern that subsidized foreign wood products are being "dumped" (sold below fair market value) in the U.S. market, potentially threatening domestic industry and national security. The order directs the Commerce Secretary to conduct a comprehensive assessment and report back within 270 days with findings and recommendations, which could include tariffs, quotas, or domestic production incentives.
