U.S. Bans Some Russian Conflict Timber

U.S. customs officials will be forced to closely examine all imports of Russian conflict plywood after one of the largest and most controversial Russian suppliers was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department on November 2. Now, U.S. firms are prohibited from purchasing plywood from Segezha. Earthsight stated that customs officials' jobs would be easier if the U.S. followed the EU and UK and banned all Russian wood imports.
