For importers of wood products, it is especially important to confirm the legality of the origin of wood under martial law in Ukraine.
Some forestry enterprises have temporarily suspended their economic activities due to hostilities on their territories, and some of these enterprises are under the temporary control of the military formations of the Russian Federation.
The wood from these territories can be considered to come from conflicting sources. The vast majority of forestry enterprises continue to work fully in compliance with all requirements of current legislation, in particular PEFC certified: SE "Khmelnytsky Forestry", SE "Drohobych Forestry", SE "Stryi Forestry", SE "Yarmolynets Forestry". Certificates of these enterprises remain valid, detailed information can be found in the section "Register of NV FCS".
The Association will receive a list of forest enterprises that have temporarily suspended their economic activities due to hostilities on their territories from an official source - the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine and, if PEFC-certified among them, post relevant information on our website.
