UKTR: A Framework for Sustainable Timber Trade

UKTR, or the UK Timber Regulation, is a set of regulations designed to combat illegal timber trade. It ensures that timber and timber products imported into the UK are harvested in compliance with the laws of their country of origin.

Key Regulations:

• Timber and Timber Products (Placing on the Market) Regulations 2013
• Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Regulations 2012 (amended)
• Timber and Timber Products and FLEGT (EU Exit) Regulations 2018
• Timber and Timber Products and FLEGT (Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020

Who is Affected:

UKTR applies to operators and traders involved in the supply chain of timber and timber products, including:

• Roundwood
• Pulpwood
• Plywood
• Paper
• Furniture
• Other timber-based products

Compliance Requirements:

The specific requirements under UKTR vary depending on your role in the supply chain and the type of product you handle. However, all businesses involved in the timber trade must ensure that their products comply with the regulation’s provisions.

By complying with UKTR, businesses can contribute to sustainable forestry practices and help prevent illegal logging.
