Similarly, in the industry (both primary and secondary), the wood must undergo legality verification until it becomes a wood product. Wood products for export require V-Legal Documents. The V-Legal Document aims to guarantee that the wood raw materials used to make the wood product originate from legal sources. Exporters, in cooperation with the verification body issuing wood legality certification, handle the issuance of V-Legal Documents.
