An overview of the Act on Promotion of Use and Distribution of Legally-Harvested Wood and Wood Products (11 pages, in English)

The Act on Promotion of Use and Distribution of Legally-Harvested Wood and Wood Products ("Clean Wood Act") encourages entities to endeavour to use legally-harvested wood and wood products. Wood-related entities are requested to collect relevant information to confirm the legality of wood and wood products that they handle. It also prescribes the implementation of the voluntary registration system for wood-related entities who are accountable for confirming the legality.
