HRS §486-119.5
Rules for labeling wood as koa
This law says you cannot sell or advertise any wood product as "koa" unless it is actually Acacia koa. You can use the word "koa" for mixed products, but you must not lie about how much koa is in them.

The statute, as written — Acacia koa wood; representing content
In addition to all other label and branding requirements, no person shall offer, display, expose for sale, or solicit for the sale of any timber, lumber, wood, or wood product described or labeled using the term "koa", either alone or in conjunction with other words unless the item is Acacia koa. Nothing in this section shall prevent the use of the term "koa" to describe wood products which are in part made of Acacia koa and, in part, other materials provided that the extent to which Acacia koa is utilized in the wood product is not misrepresented.
