Timber acceptance rules

We accept birch veneer logs in five payable lengths. The delivered length, including the trim allowance, must fall within the range shown in the chart. Each load must be accompanied by the following documents:

Felling permit

A copy of the felling permit or an equivalent document proving the ownership and origin of the timber, if the supplier is not certified under the FSC® and PEFC schemes and/or does not supply certified timber assortments.

Delivery note or invoice

A transport and accounting document – a delivery note or invoice – for each load delivered.

Suppliers who do not deliver FSC® certified timber must check the felling permit in the “Ozols” database of the Nature Data Management System (ozols.gov.lv) before harvesting and delivery. If any compartment of the felling site is marked as a “Biologically valuable area”, we do not accept roundwood from that site. Logs are measured using Timbeter or the independent measurement services of VMF LATVIA (www.vmf.lv).
