Applicable to: Wooden goods allowed for export

Holder of Document: export entities or companies. 

Signature required by:
Minister of Commerce and Co-signature by Head of Forestry Administration.

Key considerations when checking the doc:
Is the permit valid?

Is the volume (cubic meter) of the wood product correct?

Is the destination shown on the permit and does it correspond with the route of transport?

Is the name of the driver shown on the permit and correspond with the person’s ID?

Purpose and content of document:
the permit is required to track the timber from the sawmill/processing facility to the destinated international port of export. The PC-IMEX is issued at the sawmill, and the timber transported is subject to control by government officials along the route of transport. It describes the name of the document holder, country of origin, amount of timber (or type of wood products) in cubic meter, destination of the international port of export and importing country. Note that both the PC-IMEX and an export license is required for export.

Evidence limitations and weaknesses:
When the PC-IMEX is issued the documentation issued prior to the PC-IMEX is checked. However, the officials do not necessarily conduct control of the forest origin, and the document is therefore not a prove of origin.

There is a risk of falsifying the timber information on the PC-IMEX.

There is no third party allowed to verify the information of the PC-IMEX.
