Peru: FAS Lima and APHIS Intervention Leads to Release of $ 100,000 U.S. Lumber Shipment

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

During November 2014, FAS Lima facilitated for a major Peruvian lumber importer the release of ten container loads of U.S.-origin southern yellow pine. The shipments, valued at over $100,000, had been detained at the Port of Callao due to the lack of U.S. phyto-sanitary certificates and the corresponding import documentation. U.S.-origin lumber imports have grown from $865,000 in calendar year (CY) 2008 to over $2 million by 2013 (last full year data), growing with a compound annual growth rate of 19 percent. The upswing in imports is due to construction company demand for higher-quality U.S. lumber.
