Timber & Wood Derived Products

Timber and wood-derived products include any product that contains wood or wood fibre, with the exception of "recycled" materials (see below). Such products range from solid wood to those where the manufacturing processes obscure the wood element (e.g. paper). 

Timber and wood-derived products supplied that have been recycled or reclaimed are referred to as "recycled" timber, which is defined below. Timber and wood-derived products supplied that are not recycled are referred to as "virgin" timber when the distinction needs to be made for clarity. 

Short-rotation coppice is exempt from the requirements for timber and wood-derived products and falls under agricultural regulation and supervision rather than forestry.
