North American maple meets new EU regulations, export business or will open green channel

Recently, the long-controversial EU regulations on wood and wood products were formally passed by the European Parliament’s legislative proposal, which means that the EU has made breakthroughs in cracking down on illegal timber. The new timber law has become a green barrier for the export of Chinese wood products. Wood and wood products that cannot provide sufficient proof of legality will be blocked by the European Union. But at the same time, the new regulations also provide a good opportunity for companies that have consistently adhered to strict regulations, such as the North American Maple, to comply with laws and regulations, and to enter European markets.

The new timber law requires all manufacturers on the timber production and processing sales chain to submit to the EU the origin of the wood, the country and the forest, the volume and weight of the wood, the address of the name of the log supplier, etc. to prove the legality of the source of the timber. Basic information, illegal timber and wood products Will be severely punished. According to the EU's new timber law, enterprises should ensure that the source of raw materials and auxiliary materials of wood products are legal, and actively approach the sustainable forest certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to ensure the export of timber and wood products to the European Union. The proof of legality and other basic data are complete, and the participation of illegal timber and illegal wood products is eliminated.

Among European customers who have international business dealings with North American Maple, many customers have already begun to request FSC-certified products - because only products with the FSC logo can be sold in Europe. As a foreign-funded enterprise that operates international business, the implementation of the new bill will help it penetrate the European market more deeply, provide European customers with quality and high quality products, and at the same time meet the requirements of the EU's new laws and regulations. Moreover, the implementation of the EU regulations will eliminate the product price advantage of processors that used to use the illegally harvested wood as raw materials, and will make the market more healthy. It has its own forestry base, such as North American Maple. For enterprises that have legal export procedures for wood and wood products, it will be a good opportunity to expand the market share of products in the European Union.
