What is the Lacey Act?
The Lacey Act is a set of US import regulations established to combat the illegal trafficking of wildlife, fish and plants. In 2008, its scope was expanded to include a broader range of plant and plant products, such as timber, wood, and paper, meaning it became unlawful to import products that are illegally harvested, or import certain products without a declaration.
What’s New?
Phase VII is expected to come into force by Spring 2024, and will include a wide variety of materials and plant products that, up to now, have not required a declaration.
