Understanding Illegal Logging
Illegal logging is the harvesting, processing, transporting, buying or selling of timber in contravention of national and international laws. Illegal logging regulations typically impose obligations on importers and traders of wood and wood products to:
- Provide reports on product suppliers
- Maintain records of this information for a certain specified time frame and
- Affix CE Marking and other labels (if products fall within the EU Construction Products regime)
- Exercise ‘due diligence’ to ensure they supply products made of legally harvested timber. To this end, operators must use a due diligence system
