Default U.S. teak import restrictions

Can we drive across the border and pick it up from you in Canada?

The Biden Bill was (in mid December) sent back to the House after the
Senate made a few changes. Has the Pres signed the bill?

We all want democracy in Burma, and I appreciate that the Costoms gang
may have a difficult time differentiating Costa Rican plantation teak
from the Burmese variety, but it seems way overboard to ban *all* teak
importation into the US.

Are US boatbuilders hosed?

I don't see that S2257 prohibits teak from all countries. It is very specific
that Burma hardwood and Teak are prohibited whether unprocessed or processed in
another counry.
