China Imposes Ban on U.S. Log Imports

St. Louis, MO, March 11, 2025-"On March 4, the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) announced that China has imposed a ban U.S. log imports based on the ‘quarantine of forest pests such as bark beetles and longhorn beetles,’” reports Hardwood Floors Magazine.

“According to AHEC, there is no mention of a ban on lumber or other hardwood products. Other U.S. products targeted include soybeans, pork, beef, vegetables, fruits, and dairy. This announcement comes on the heels of the Trump Administration’s decision to move forward with 20% tariffs on Chinese imports.”
