With the invasion of Ukraine ongoing, Timber Development UK (TDUK) is advising all members to cease trade with Russia and Belarus.<\/p>\n

The financial sanctions from multiple Governments to exclude many Russian banks from the international SWIFT payment system has effectively shut a lot of firms out of international trade as payments cannot be made or received; the UK Government has requested British ports to refuse entry for Russian owned or registered vessels; the EU has imposed trade sanctions on Belarus covering multiple commodities including timber; and the US Govt is considering a trade embargo on Russian oil exports.<\/p>\n

According to TDUK, all of these sanctions are already affecting the trade in timber and timber products. Many TDUK members have already released statements that they are ceasing trade with Belarus and Russia, and, most recently, PEFC stated that they are reclassifying Russian and Belarussian products as \u201cConflict Timber\u201d and thus ineligible for certification.<\/p>\n

In line with these sanctions, Timber Development UK advises all members to cease trading with Russia and Belarus if they have not done so already.<\/p>\n

European Sawmilling Organisation (EOS) and CEI Bois, the main European organization for the timber and woodworking industries unanimously support the trade sanctions against Belarus and an expectation that these would soon be matched by equal measures against Russia.<\/p>\n

According to TDUK, these could cause huge disruption to timber supplies into Europe and to the UK market. While direct imports into the UK are relatively small, Russia and Belarus account for about 10% of the softwood market in Europe. Removing this will make the available supply even tighter, causing potential shortages in some product areas.<\/p>\n

About Timber Development UK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Timber Development UK (TDUK) is a merger between UK's\u00a0Timber Trade Federation (TTF) and Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA).<\/p>\n

TTF and TRADA continued to operate in 2021 as separate entities, owned by Timber Development UK, while services and outputs are integrated and agreed under a common management plan. The combined organisation has a base of over 1500 members, stretching from forest owners through to architects and specifiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
