Timber legality verification

Timber legality verification ensures that wood products are sourced responsibly and comply with laws and regulations. It involves checking that the timber has been harvested, transported, and traded following legal standards to prevent illegal logging, deforestation, and environmental harm. Certification schemes like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) validate that the timber meets these legal and sustainable criteria. This process helps consumers, businesses, and authorities ensure wood products are environmentally responsible and legally obtained.
