Japan Recognizes Most U.S. Grading Agencies

Japanese requirements for re-grading U.S. lumber, a long-standing nontariff barrier to U.S. wood product imports, have been eliminated.

Recognition by the Japanese Ministry of Construction of most U.S. rules writing agencies and the grademarks of their lumber inspection bureaus permits direct use of U.S. lumber for construction of American-style homes in Japan.

The effect will be to increase the number of U.S. mills that can export directly to Japan from 80 to 1,000. The move should boost U.S. mill jobs and vastly increase future U.S. wood exports to Japan from 1995's $3.5 billion.

Virtually all gradestamped lumber produced in the U.S. will be recognized by the Ministry.

Rules-writing agencies and inspection bureaus now covered are: Redwood Inspection Service, Southern Pine Inspection Bureau, West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau, Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association. Northern Softwood Lumber Bureau, California Lumber Inspection Service, Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau, Timber Products Inspection and Renewable Resources Associates. Inc.
