I am writing to submit a formal request under the Freedom 

of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, to obtain 

information pertaining to the importation of tropical timber 

by the United States. Based on our literature review, the 

2008 Amendment of the US Lacey Act requires disclosing the 

full scientific name (genus and species) while importing any 

wild member of the plant kingdom for the “Plant and Plant 

Product Declaration Form”. Our team here at State University 

of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry is 

doing research on the importation of potentially endangered 

tropical timber species by the US using common names only. 

After extensive search, it has come to our attention that no 

existing database provides timber trade data specifying the 

scientific names of all the imported timber products. I 

wanted to assure you that we did look at the USDA Foreign 

Agricultural Service GATS database, however, like the other 

databases, the trade data provided there also are detailed 

upto HS and other codes which is not species specific. The 

website of APHIS mentions “APHIS is responsible for 

collecting declarations for imported plants and plant 

products.” Therefore, we kindly request your assistance in 

providing us with the following information: 1. Detailed 

import data for tropical timber species imported by the 

United States for the years 2008 to 2022, including the year 

of import, country of origin, scientific names (genus and 

species), quantity imported (in cubic meters or other 

appropriate units), and any other available information 

related to the imports. We understand that compiling the 

requested data might require substantial effort and 

resources. However, obtaining this information would greatly 

contribute to the accuracy and comprehensiveness of our 

research, enabling us to better assess the impact of tropical 

timber trade on endangered species and conservation 

efforts.
