Russia bans timber exports to Europe and the United States

Recently, in the face of the withdrawal of European and American multinational enterprises from Russia and sanctions, Russia launched a counterattack.

Russia has listed “unfriendly” countries and territories, and some export products of the countries and regions on the list will be restricted. According to the ban issued by the Russian Ministry of industry and trade, the export of timber to the countries and regions on the list is prohibited.

The countries on the list of “unfriendly” countries mainly include the United States and EU countries. Including Italy, Poland, Germany and other furniture exporting countries. According to the Russian Ministry of industry and trade, the ban will help ensure the demand for logs in the Russian market and stimulate further growth in wood processing.

The export ban is a counterattack to the announcement by some European companies that they refuse to import wood and wood products from Russia. At the same time, certification organizations FSC and PEFC announced the termination of trade certificates for wood and wood products from Russia.
