It depends on the source. FAS is firsts and seconds and is a North American

I believe that the standard varies upon species- the above links confirm that.

As for native stuff, I don't know if there is a similar grading. Other than oak, I haven't seen it in the few yards I have been to. I am nervous about buying native timber unseen.
