Lacey Act Declaration

Category: Compliance

Also searched as: Lacey Act Declaration

Definition (plain English)

A U.S. declaration for covered plant and wood products identifying botanical species, country of harvest, quantity, value, and other required source details.

Why it matters commercially

Incorrect Lacey data can stop U.S. entry, create seizure risk, and expose the importer to penalties even when the commercial documents look complete.

Example

A furniture importer requested botanical names and harvest countries before booking because the broker needed Lacey data before entry filing.

Common mistake

Using vague descriptions like wood, bamboo, or mixed plant material without confirming species, harvest origin, and whether the product is in scope.
