Export of Processed Wood Bundles (Relates to Principle 5) To enable the export of processed wood bundles, the exporters will submit a request (using a web form) for the export of a contract ID of processed wood, with details of purchaser ID, destination ID, shipping date, ship name. There will be the provision of manual submission of records as a back up to the electronic system. This will consist of a list of processed wood bundle tag numbers, showing type of product, volume, species, grade, etc., along with information on the sales contract, buyer, etc. The central database will receive the list of bundle tag numbers and produce a report indicating the history of the wood in those bundles, showing when and where processing was done, the ID numbers of the logs and the IDs and locations of the source trees involved, when and where the source trees were cut (a digital map of source trees should be available on the web), and the results of FC/TVD sampled inspections (volume and species disparities). The random inspections refer to the TVD post harvest audit sampled inspections. If no discrepancies over an agreed threshold are found, the ‘go-ahead’ is given to the XXXX for the issuance of the FLEGT licences. Details of product export certificates issued are stored in the database (authoriser’s name, certificate number, volume, species, type of product, date of issue, exporter, purchaser, etc.). At the time of contract approval the XXXX will enter into the system the relevant details: contract number, buyer ID (overseas), processing company ID, volumes/dimensions to be supplied (by species and product ID). Details of transactions under export of wood bundles are shown in Appendix X. Table 1 overleaf is a summary description of the procedures for tracking wood from stock enumeration through felling, cross-cutting of logs, conversion into primary and secondary products and export.
