The Lacey Act is a US conservation law that requires importers to provide documentation and declarations that prove the legality of the wood products and all natural resources they are importing.
Everyone—from the wood cutter, through the chain of custody, to your customer—is considered responsible under the law. Learn how to create a Lacey Act Compliance Plan for your business.
