Timber and wood products sourced to project requirements

The list describes sourcing capability, not inventory. The live offer confirms the mill or seller, origin, product standard, quantity, packing, inspection and shipment window.

Origin and transaction review

Suitable origins are assessed against the buyer’s specification, quantity, shipment window, destination and landed economics. The live offer identifies the proposed producer or seller, country of origin, load point, quantity and route.

Each proposed transaction is reviewed using the actual origin, counterparties, banks, vessel or carrier, route and destination.

Build the requirement

Provide the product, species or panel type, grade, dimensions, moisture target, treatment, quantity, packing, preferred origin, destination, delivery rule, shipment window and required certification.

Delivery and trade structure

The parties select the appropriate Incoterms® 2020 rule only after confirming the transport mode and exact named port or place. FOB, CFR or CIF may suit sea or inland-waterway movements; FCA, CPT or CIP may suit containerised or multimodal movements. The rule allocates specified delivery obligations, costs and risk; price, payment, title, product conformity and sanctions compliance remain matters for the sale contract and applicable law.

Phytosanitary and destination controls

Requirements vary by species, processing level, packaging and destination. They may include an import permit, phytosanitary certificate, treatment or fumigation evidence, conformity assessment and chain-of-custody records. ISPM 15 applies to regulated wood packaging material; it is not a universal product standard for the timber itself.

Product, import, inspection, customs and documentation requirements are confirmed for the actual destination, importer and declared end use.
