We do the same thing for certain woods we import already and that industry works. Yes, maybe a paperwork nightmare but WTH? Can’t be worse than the status quo and we need to level the playing field! Outside countries do not provide safe conditions for their workers; we keep finding lead paint, bad meat and many other problems with imports. Also, it would have a chilling effect on knock off forgeries of goods that flood our markets.
