## Summary

**Timed detention-and-review framework** would create a clear, time-bound process for merchandise detained under the Lacey Act, focusing on imported wood, plant, and wildlife products and on predictable notice, testing, and review rules. It would set specific deadlines for notice, testing transparency, release or seizure decisions, administrative appeals, and court review to speed outcomes and strengthen due process for importers. - Importers and businesses: Importers would get faster answers and clearer reasons for holds. The Secretary must issue a notice or release within 5 days and must release or seize within 30 days or the detention is deemed a seizure. - Rights around testing and movement: Importers can ask to move detained goods outside U.S. control within 10 days if they pay fees, post a bond, and the Secretary agrees. The agency must share test results and enough information for importers to replicate the tests. - Administrative and judicial remedies: Importers may seek administrative review that must be decided within 30 days and then file in federal court. Courts must grant relief unless the Secretary proves by a preponderance of the evidence that admissibility remains unresolved for good cause.
