Overview

Mission

To develop and disseminate information relative to the international wood products industry.

What it reported doing in 2024

The association holds courses throughout the year to provide attendees with a comprehensive analysis of the requirements of the lacey act and other laws relevant to trade in wood products. The courses covers compliance challenges, strategies and resources to successfully meet those requirements, and collaborative activities to stimulate dialogue among course participants. The courses arm those buying and selling wood products with the latest information about resources and procedures that will allow them to tailor a compliance system to their company's market niche. The course is for ceos, cfos, buyers, compliance staff, customs specialists, sales staff, overseas producers and exporters involved in the wood trade.
