PRESS CLIPPING

ECC to remove excise duty from sugar The Economic Coordination Committee

(ECC) of the Cabinet will remove excise duty on sugar to bring its price in the retail market to an affordable level, sources close to Secretary, Industries Ministry, told Business Recorder. The Cabinet in its meeting on January 6, 2009 had reportedly approved the proposal, in principle, and directed the concerned Ministry to place a summary before the ECC for removal of one percent excise duty on sugar.

Sources said that Finance Ministry, while briefing the Cabinet on sugar stock position in the country, said that sugar production during the current year would range between 3 and 3.5 million tons, and the shortfall in the overall sugar consumption would be met through import of 1.2 to 1.3 million tons sugar by the government and 0.75 million tons by the private sector. Sources said that the Pakistan Sugar Mills Association (PSMA) has also advised the government to do away with all taxes including general sales tax (OST) on sugar whose import would be around Rs 3 to 3.5 per kg. When contacted, PSMA Chairman Iskandar Khan confirmed that he had submitted this proposal in a meeting presided over by Finance Secretary SaIman Siddique a few days ago. The TCP has already floated two sugar import tenders of 1,50,000 tons each from worldwide sources aimed at ensuring imported commodity by April next instead of June as was the original plan. Timing of imports is, therefore, of the essence, said one analyst.

Unless the government acts quickly, any delay in imports may well cost the nation millions of rupees. Sources said Tarin is considering allowing key private sector companies to import 0.5 million tons of sugar duty on the condition that the process is completed by March 31, 2010.

TROPICAL HARDWOOD A Survey of the Market for Tropical Hardwood in Denmark

1. Introduction to Denmark Denmark is the southernmost country of both Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, and

Norway) and of the so-called Nordic Region (which additionally includes Finland and Iceland). Denmark's geography contrasts with its northern neighbors in being characteristically non-mountainous with a flat and fertile terrain.

The form of government is a parliamentary democracy. Elections are conducted according to proportional representation, with every citizen over the age of 18 entitled to vote. The present government, formed after a general election in November 2007, is a coalition of the Liberals and the Conservatives.

The system of production is capitalist (economic liberalism) with private ownership of businesses and production. The state and other public authorities, however, exercise a considerable regulatory control and provide comprehensive services for the citizens.

This thoroughly modern market economy features high-tech agriculture, up-to-date small-scale and corporate industry, extensive government welfare measures, comfortable living standards, a stable currency, and high dependence on foreign trade. Denmark is a net exporter of food and energy and enjoys a comfortable balance of payments surplus. Government objectives include streamlining the bureaucracy and further privatization of state assets.

Economic Outlook Due to the financial and economic crisis real GDP is expected to fall in 2008-2009

and stabilise in 2010. From a period of exceptionally low unemployment, unemployment is also expected to increase to 2004 levels in 2010. See table 1 below.

Imports of goods are expected to surpass exports due to a decline in Danish exports. The DKK is expected to remain stable against the Euro, while the USD is expected to remain somewhat lower compared to the pre-crisis situation.

Standard of Living On the basis of a high GDP per capita (EUR 42,600)1, welfare benefits, a low income

distribution, and political stability, the Danish people enjoy high living standards despite t~ current down-turn.


Export News 2010 As evident from table 2 below, households consisting of either 2 adults (married or

cohabitant) or a family with children have the highest average annual income.

Household Consumption According to the latest statistics, consumer confidence has been falling since the first

quarter of 2007 due to the financial and economic crisis. Despite this, private consumption continued to increase until the third quarter of 2008 and only then started falling compared to the same quarter of the preceding year.

part of the income on housing and relatively less on other areas. Housing accounts for 20% of household expenditure, whereas foodstuffs and beverages only represent 13.60/0, clothing 5.1 % and furniture and domestic goods 5.7% of the average household expenditure.

Infrastructure Denmark has a well-developed network of motorways. The high-quality motorway

network means swift aid easy access to all markets in the Northern European region. Through the opening of the Oeresund bridge in July 2000 Denmark is now the gateway to the Scandinavian countries and the Baltic area. There is direct access from Copenhagen to the city of Malmoe in Sweden either by train or car via the Oeresund Bridge.

Copenhagen Airport is the main hub in Northern Europe. It is the national airline carrier's principal airport and it has been retained by DHL.(the international courier) as its Northern European hub. Besides Copenhagen, Denmark has three other international airports, Aarhus, Aalborg, and Billund, all located in the peninsula of Jutland.

The major industrial ports offer daily connections to overseas destinations and regular connections to major ports in Europe, Freeport and bonded warehousing facilities and ro-ro/lo-lo facilities. The international port in Copenhagen has the shortest turnaround times, 24-hour service, some of the cheapest rates in Europe and cooperates closely with Malmoe Port of Sweden.

Denmark has one of the most advanced telecommunication infrastructures in Europe and the network is fully digitalized. Denmark's penetration of mobile telephone subscriptions is ahead of the average European level. Denmark is also characterized as a top-ranked country with regard to presentation rates for PCs and household Internet (broadband) access.

Membership of the European Union As a member of the EU, Denmark enjoys open market access to the other EU

countries. Within the EU a Customs Union has been formed, allowing goods to move freely across borders without customs or taxes. For non-EU countries, however, specific roles apply (please refer to chapter 4).

Denmark also enjoys membership of international organizations, such as the OECD and the WTO, and is traditionally striving to actively remove obstacles to free trade within these frameworks. '

Industrial Pattern The Danish production industry is dominated by small and medium-sized entetprises2

with niche productions of a high technical standard. Compared to other industrialized countries, even the largest Danish companies are, with few exceptions, only medium-sized.

Except for heavy industries such as mining, car and plane industries etc., practically all business sectors exist in Denmark. Due to an increasing specialization, division of tasks, and seasonality, however, a large range of products is also imported to Denmark. The Danish industry is mainly constituted of light manufacturing and reprocessing, and production is often characterized by a high degree of specialization in a particular, well-defined field. Products, which have made Denmark known internationally, are primarily meat and dairy products, pharmaceuticals, furniture, beer, electronic products and advanced metal industry.

General Trade Figures 2 Small enterprise: <50 employees; Medium-sized enterprises: <250 employees


Export News 2010 Denmark has a small, open economy high dependent on trade with other countries.

As foreign trade accounts for most of the GDP, Denmark has a strong interest ill the free exchange of goods and services between countries.

Foreign trade accounts for 2/3 of GDP and around 2/3 of the total foreign trade are with other EU countries. Germany is Denmark's main trading partner, but Sweden and Great Britain are also important. Outside the EU, Norway, the US and Japan are important trading partners. Among the new market economies in Central and Eastern Europe, the trade with Poland has grown particularly rapidly in recent years.

Consumer goods constitute around 30% of imports, while raw materials and semi-manufactured products, including energy, machinery, other capital equipment and means of transport, account for the rest.

With regard to total imports to Denmark in 2007, imports from other EU countries accounted for 82.3%. Asia and Oceania accounted for 11.40/0, the Americas for 5.6%. Only 0.4% of total imports came from Africa.

The percentage change in imports may in cases such as Burkina Faso and Tanzania seem very large. It should, however, be noted that in some of these cases, imports were in 2006 quite limited, hence a large percentage variation may merely reflect an additional order or two in 2008.


Export News 2010 Language Skills

Denmark's international outlook is reflected in the fact that the population commands excellent language skills, English being considered a natural second language. Cross-border communication in Scandinavia is aided by the fact that Danes, Norwegians and Swedes are highly adept at understanding each other's languages. Among the younger generations especially, it is common to be skilled in several European languages, including German, French and Spanish.

Visitor's Visa Visitors from overseas countries are required to apply for visa to visit Denmark. Visa

for business visits normally requires an invitation from a Danish business partner. A visa application shall be submitted to the Danish Embassy or Consulate in the visitor's home country. It is advised to be well in advance when applying for a visa due to lengthy processing. A visa to Denmark is valid for all Schengen countries.

Parties to the Schengen Agreement are: Austria, Belgium" Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. According to the Schengen Agreement a visitor's or a business visa can be given for visits up to 90 days per six-month period.

Foreign citizens who are exempted from basic visa requirements can stay, but not work, in the Schengen region up to three months. The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs' web site www.um.dk gives all relevant information on visa rules and regulations.

2. Market Definition This market survey covers import of tropical hardwood as defined by the Combined

Nomenclature (CN) for statistics in the European Union. CN is an 8-digit trade classification system used by the European Union for tariff

purposes. The system is directly linked to the 6-digit Harmonized System (HS) used by the vast majority of trading nations throughout the world. When exporting to countries within the EU, it is necessary to state the exact CN number of the specific product category. More information and details on the Combined Nomenclature is available on http://europa.eu.int/conun/taxation_customs & http://exporthelp.europa.eul

Tropical hardwood is included along with other types of wood under a number of relevant CN-categories. The tables in this report only include the tropical hardwood sub-categories of the CN-categories mentioned in the table below. Note that 44.08 and 44.12 cover manufactured products where the products may also consist of wood or other materials which are not of tropical origin. 44.18 builders' joinery and carpentry of tropical wood are manufactured products made from tropical wood as the main material. All relevant tropical hardwood species are included, as the statistics include all imports into Denmark. The table below shows the relevant main CN Categories

CN Numbers3

Export News 2010 3. Market Analysis

Market size This section deals with the total Danish market for imported tropical hardwood as

defined in the previous chapter "Market Definition" based on data from Statistics Denmark.

Denmark is the 13th largest importer ofwood4 in the EU, with a very high per capita import of wood owing to the fact that Danish exports of wood products -particularly furniture -is relatively high.

In 2008, Danish imports of unprocessed wood, sawn wood, veneer and plywood amounted in value to almost DKK 5 billion. Two thirds of the imports originated from the neighbouring countries Sweden, Finland and Germany.

In 2008, the total value of imports of tropical hardwood, (raw and sawn) veneer, plywood, carpentry and joinery amounted to about DKK 0,275 billion which is 5.5% of the total imports of wood. Denmark's import of tropical hardwood that year consisted of sawn wood (56%), sheets for veneering (25%), plywood (16%) and woods in the rough (3%) (cf. table 7).

All importers of wood to Denmark are by law requested, in parallel with reporting to the customs authorities, to report on volumes and cost of goods imported, and this information is fed into the databases of Statistics Denmark. However, the technological development in the industry implies that products change over time and therefore, according to importers, reporting is not always accurate and statistics may therefore be inaccurate. It should also be noted that this report presents imports in values measured in DKK (and not in quantities), which implies that statistics are affected by fluctuations in currencies and in prices of wood. Data from Statistics Denmark has been compared with statistics provided by the Danish Timber Trade Federation (DTTF), and the market tendencies to be noted from the two different sources are the same.

Table 7 below shows a steady growth in the imports of tropical hardwood into Denmark from 2004 to 2006. However, imports have declined sharply from 2007 to 2008. The decline is due to the global financial crisis which started to make itself felt in 2007 and had a major negative impact on the Danish remanufacturing wood industry and also hit hard on the construction sector. In 2008, imports of tropical hardwood decreased due to lower building activities resulting in stockpiling and declining prices. It is expected that demand will continue to decrease in the nearest future.

However, there arc substantial differences in the development of the import of different categories of wood: imports of plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood with a tropical hardwood content have decreased sharply, while imports of sawn or chipped wood and sheets for veneering have increased substantially. Hence, there is a tendency towards a decline in imports of processed tropical hardwood products. 4 CBI Market Survey: The: timber and timber products market in Denmark, August 2008.

Several factors may be seen to influence the development of imports of tropical wood:

• Global competition and internationalization of the wood sector. Due to competition wood trading companies generally become larger in terms of turnover, internationalized and/or more specialized. The companies site warehouses, sawmills and manufacturing where it is economically most advantageous. For example some Danish import companies have warehouses in Germany -wood that used to be registered as "imported to Denmark" may thus today be re-exported without ever entering Denmark and being registered in too statistics.

• Relocation of production: many manufacturers move their production to countries with lower labour cost than the Danish or European costs. This is the case for some of the large importers of garden furniture -a key commodity manufactured from tropical wood. These companies, choose to relocate their production to developing countries, while design is kept at headquarters in Denmark or Europe. Thus, while the wood imported for value-adding in Denmark used to appear in the import statistics for tropical hardwood, this wood is no longer included in too statistics as such, but rather is a component of e.g. garden furniture items included in other categories of imports.

Imports The main tropical species demanded in the Danish market are namely azobc, teak,

mahogany, merbau, meranti, jatoba, and doussie. The imports statistics by country are difficult to interpret because large amounts of

wood are imported through other countries. Hence the origin of this wood does not feature in the statistics. Germany for instance appears in the statistics as the largest exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark. However, in the case of plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, 93% of these products were directly imported from developing countries. Please also see appendix 2 for statistics of imports of tropical hardwood by country of origin and CN category.

Based on the total imports of tropical hardwoods, the import of tropical hardwood from developing countries to Denmark originated from the following countries5

Brazil appears in the statistics as the largest developing country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark in 2008, and accounts for 12% of total tropical hardwood imports. Imports from Brazil amounted to about DKK 60 million in 2008. The main part of the exports of tropical hardwood to Denmark consisted of sawn or chipped wood. The reason for the success of Brazil as an exporter is, according to the large wood importing companies, the introduction of a centralized computer-based certification system, making it possible for too European importers to verify the origin and legal status of the wood. In comparison to a previous system based on paper, the computer based system makes fraud much more difficult.

Malaysia was in 2008 the second largest developing country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark and had a 8% share of the import to Denmark amounting to DKK 39 Mio. Exports consisted mainly of sawn and chipped wood as well as plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood. A reason for the relatively large export of Malaysian


Export News 2010 tropical wood to Denmark is the existence of a Malaysian wood certification system. The Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC) is recognized by the Danish Ministry of Environment in its guidelines for procurement of timber.

Ecuador was in 2008 the third largest developing country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark. Imports amounted to DKK 27 million in 2008 which corresponds to 6% of total imports of tropical hardwood to Denmark. Exports to Denmark consisted mainly of sawn and chipped wood. Ecuador offers a wide range of both finished and semi-processed wood for exportation to a number of end users and applications. The major wood types are soft and hardwoods and tropical species which are exported to more than 45 countries worldwide.

Thailand; the fourth largest developing country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark (2008). Imports amounted to 16 million DKK which corresponds to 3% of total imports of tropical hardwood. Exports consisted mainly of sawn and chipped wood and sheets for veneering. Veneer is increasingly being used in industrial production of furniture and kitchen cupboards. Thailand is also a supplier of high quality teak and mahogany. Thailand's share of the export of builder's joinery and carpentry to Denmark has been in decline. According to Danish importers the requirement specifications to joinery and carpentry are complex and change quickly. Therefore there is a tendency to buy these products from high productivity suppliers in Europe, or outsource to China.

Cameroun; the fifth largest developing country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark (2008). Imports amounted 5Source to this section is import statistics from Statistics Denmark.

To DKK 16 million which corresponded to 3% of total imports of tropical hardwood in 2008. Exports consisted mainly of sawn and chipped wood. Danish importers emphasize the existence of a well functioning harbour in Douala as decisive for trade with Cameroun.

China; the sixth largest developing Country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark (2008). Imports amounted to DKK 16 million which corresponds to 3% of total imports of tropical hardwood. Chincse exports to Denmark consisted mainly of plywood, veneered panels, and similar laminated wood. China is growing fast as a source of imports for the Danish timber and furniture industry.' China, however, is not so strong in sawn logs, but more in plywood and joinery & carpentIy; this is also helped by the fact that a few Danish companies have outsourced production of furniture parts to China and invested in production facilities there.

Chile; the seventh largest developing country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark (2008). Imports amounted to 16 million DKK which corresponds to 3% of total imports of tropical hardwood Exports consisted only of plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood

Indonesia; the eighth largest developing country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark (2008). Imports amounted to DKK 10 million which corresponds to 2% of total imports of tropical hardwood. Imports from Indonesia consisted of plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood (used in floor and door manufacturing) as well as sawn and chipped wood. Indonesia has a long trading tradition with Denmark.

The Democratic Republic of Congo; the ninth largest developing country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark (2008) am one of the few African countries along with Cameroun and Ghana to have any significant export of tropical hardwood to Denmark. Imports amounted to DKK 6 million which corresponds to 1% of total imports of tropical hardwood. Exports consisted mainly of wood in the raw.

Ghana; the tenth largest (2008) developing country exporter of tropical hardwood to Denmark. Imports amounted to DKK 6 million which corresponds to I % of total imports of tropical hardwood. Exports consisted of plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood as well as sawn and chipped wood.


Export News 2010 Burma/Myanmar, previously among the Top 10 tropical wood exporters to

Denmark, has slipped a long way down the list in recent years and is now the 13th largest developing country exporter. Partly as a consequence of the political situation in Burma, imports from Burma have strongly decreased during the last years. The US has issued a trade embargo against Myamnar/Burma, but at present the EU has not issued similar initiatives.

Structure of the Danish Wood Sector This section describes the main actors and activities in the Danish wood sector" The majority of tropical wood is imported to Denmark by specialized wood importing

companies, often using purchasing agents. Some of these are international with subsidiaries worldwide, some specialize in trading of wood, whereas others combine this with sawmills, manufacturing and/or outlets and retail in Denmark.

The Danish Timber Trade Federation (DTIF) (www.dktirnber.dk represents the interests of the importers in negotiations and in international and national fora. The organization also aims at increasing the knowledge of the wood sector as an environmental resource and gathers and provides statistics and information on regulation and volumes of wood trade. DTTF also acts as an intermediary between forest or plantation owners interested in exporting to Denmark and Danish wood importing and manufacturing companies which are members of DTTF.

The primary activities in the wood-working sector are divided into round wood, sawmilling and wood-based panels. Secondary activities are joinery, carpentry and packaging. Sometimes the furniture industry is also included, but 'pure' woodworking excludes furniture production. Wood am semi-manufactured wooden products including imported tropical wood are mainly used in t4e construction sector and the wood manufacturing and processing industry. The main flows of the wood from the forest to consumer product are illustrated in the model below.

Flow of imports to the Danish wood sector.


Export News 2010 A large part of ~ wood is used in the construction sector; within this sector the wood

trade of carpenter and joiner enterprise constitutes the largest bran.ch with 5,600 registered enterprises, 23,000] employees am an annual turnover of DKK 38 billion (2006). An increasing part of the work is done as automated and industrialized processes; at the building site carpenters and joiners are now mainly installing prefabricated modules or elements. In many of these elements wood has been substituted by other materials, although wood remains! the preferred raw material for some components. The relatively high number of enterprises reflects that there are many smaller works in the sector and also that it is relatively easy to establish a small carpenter or joiner business.

Another major consumer of wood is too large building companies, some of which arc international in structure. The building companies will be contracted for large construction works, which in Denmark mainly are commissioned by public authorities such as a ministry, municipalities or harbour authorities.

The wood manufacturing and processing industry consisting of saw mills, minor wood processing workshops and factories employs a total of app. 14,500 persons and the value of wood processing products was 17 billion DKK in 2008.

The wood processing industry is like many other industrial sectors affected by internationalization, competition and the relocation of production facilities to lower income countries. The pattern is that design and project management take place in Denmark or Europe, whereas mass production is transferred to low salary areas. However, infrastructure and stable supply of raw materials are important conditions for moving production to low income countries.

Many large building and carpentry companies have a framework agreement with a trading or import company. A framework agreement will specify that the buyer will place a certain number of orders with the supplier and the supplier guarantees delivery on certain terms. The builder saves cost by placing orders with the same company and emphasis is placed on a stable and reliable relation. Whether the supplier of wood is delivering for construction works or for production, fulfilling the requirement specifications of a contract is decisive for developing a lasting business relationship.

One of largest consumers of wood is the Danish furniture industry which currently comprises approx. 400 companies, producing furniture at a value of DKK 17.8 billion (2008). The Danish furniture sector employs approximately 16,900 people and the combination of advanced technology and a high level of technical competence makes productivity in the sector very high indeed. 6 Although materials like steel and plastic are important components of furniture, wood remains a preferred material by consumers. Classical design in wooden furniture, manufactured according to traditional joiner and carpentry craftsmanship tend to become collector's items and fetch high prices.

Furniture made of more expensive solid wood types such as teak, mahogany, or comparable types of dark tropical wood is regarded as a luxury or up market product. However a change has taken place in garden furniture. Some of the largest supermarket outlets and other retail chain stores have organized large scale production of garden furniture in various species of tropical hardwood. Furniture is often designed in Denmark and produced in developing countries and sold at low prices on the Danish market. Despite fierce price competition, however, FSC certified garden furniture has captured a considerable market share and the certification is actively used as a marketing strategy.

Many large furniture chains mass-produce cheaper products. In mass production of wooden furniture and kitchen cupboards veneer of more expensive woods are often used in combination with a core of cheaper wood to obtain the style of more expensive design.

Another trend in the market for wood products is the growth of the so-called Do It yourself (DIY) markets, where prefabricated parts for building, future and kitchen cupboards are bought for completion by the consumer. Veneer and plywood often from a substantial part of these products. An area where a substantial amount of tropical wood is used is in production of floors, and normally companies have several product lines comprising solid wood floors and floors manufactured from veneer. Most of these 'laminate' floors are sold through DIY stores.


Export News 2010 Prices and Mark-ups

The International Tropical Timber Organization provides reliable and regularly updated statistics on the international prices for wood. Access to these data at www.ITTO.int is free of charge.

Information on revenues of Danish wood importers can be obtained as commercial enterprises in Denmark are obliged to provide audited accounts publicly accessible. The largest importers of wood will have their accounts accessible on the website. It should be noted that tile Danish tax rules are complex -taxes are high and do not encourage companies to be overly optimistic about revenues.

Importers in the wood business suggest that the highest profits that may be expected in the sector would be a 10% earning on turnover. It should be noted, however, that competition has been tough and in recent years some companies have gone bankrupt, so these expectations may be too optimistic.

An import company which is only dealing with trade (purchase and sales) and has no role in processing (logging, sawing or drying) should expect a profit margin or earning from a given deal around a maximum of 3%, according to the importers.

As an example of the price structure including the retail level, the price in Brazil for 1 m3 of raw Ipc wood log in February 2006 was USD 101 (DKK 570). The sawn wood price for the same type of sawn wood in Brazil was USD 468 (DKK 2,620). This reflects that the process of refining the wood is costly: the wood has to be transported, excess has to be cut, and the wood has to dry under strict temperature management for several months before sawing. Sold in retail in Denmark i.e. in one of the DIY markets -the price to the individual consumer would be as high as USD 2,660 (DKK I5,000)/m3 of dried Ipe of a quality to be used for solid floor or outdoor balcony. In other words, the price of the processed wood has increased by 5 or 6 times before reaching the retail outlet in Denmark.

Certification of imported wood In 2003 public procurement guidelines were introduced for procurement of tropical

timber, encouraging purchase of legally and sustainable produced timber only. The policy has increased pressure for certification and traceability of wood; in addition to the increasingly heightened consumer demand for sustainable wood. The certification schemes recommended by the policy are the following: 6 Association of Danish Furniture.

• Canadian Standard Association (CSA): www.csa.ca • Forest Stewardship Council (FSC): www.fsc.org • Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC): www.mtcc.com.my • Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC): www.pefc.org

Notwithstanding, the two certification schemes mainly relevant to the Danish market are FSC and MTCC - in particular FSC which is widely known within the Danish public. Demand for FSC certified wood is growing as consumer awareness of the scheme increases.

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The Forest Stewardship Council was established in 1993 with the mission to promote: "environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forest”. This implies that local people should enjoy the benefit of forests, that indigenous people maintain their rights to using the forest, and that harvest of timber should maintain the biodiversity and productivity of the forest FSC is established as an international organization with 50 National Initiatives around the world 7. The Danish FSC Secretaria4 FSC Danmark FSC (www.fsc.dk.) has more than 80 certified members including wood importers, manufacturers and retail stores.8. The Secretariat plays an active role in promotion of sustainable forest management and import of FSC certified wood and is also an important source of information on the Danish market for wood in general and sustainable wood in particular.

The FSC Certification is divided in two - A certification for forest management (FM certification) and a certification for the Chain of Custody (CoC). An FSC FM Certificate


Export News 2010 certified that (1) the wood originates in a legal forest as opposed to timber logged in or stolen from biologically rare and threatened and/or protected forests; (2) guarantees that the logged timber is being substituted by new forest being planted; (3) the workers employed in the logging of timer work under minimum conditions set by the International Labour Organization as opposed to for example forced labour or child labour, and (4) that methods of forest management are sound and sustainable, ensuring the buyer that dangerous pesticides or impregnation are not used.

The FSC Certificate for Chain of Custody follows the wood from the forest to the consumers and thereby verifies the sustainable source, manufacturing and transport of the wood every step of the process from felling, transport, manufacturing and distribution to final use by the consumer.

FSC certificates are issued by certified accredited certifiers, 19 main accredited bodies exist today; these bodies may delegate to local organizations in for example developing countries to issue certificates. The certification requires inspection at minimum once a year. Costs of certification range from around USD 1,800 to 6,000. The costs cover fees for consultants carrying out the assessment and is related to the complexity of production or manufacture. For smaller foresters with limited logging rights, which have problems affording the FSC certification, a so-called SLIMF model is available; the model is less demanding and less costly than full FSC certification. Another approach recommended to small producers with limited resources is to join forces and seek to obtain FSC certification for a group or network of producers.

Market Trends and Opportunities There is clearly an un-fulfilled demand for certified tropical wood and timber products in

Denmark, in particular FSC- certified wood in well-know species such as teak and mahogany. The challenge for suppliers from developing countries lies in providing stable supplies of tropical hardwood, possibly certified, in accordance with the required specifications.

There are a number of areas where use of tropical timber is slowly" but steadily increasing:

• Denmark has an extensive coastline with a considerable number of harbours. The seawater is salt and special worms in the water tend to attack the piers. Tropical hardwood has been found to be the only product with sufficient strength and flexibility.

• In large apartment buildings of good standards each apartment often has a balcony. It has become fashionable to construct such balconies from tropical hardwood, because it is durable in the wet and harsh Danish weather.

7Source: http://www.fsc.org/fsc-locations.html 8Source: http://www.fsc.dk/index.php?id=18

• Tropical hardwood is increasingly used for window frames -sometimes in combination with metal -again the durability in the tough Danish weather conditions is an appreciated quality.

• Floors from tropical hardwood are often used in public buildings due to its durability. They are both constructed using veneer solid wood, the latter being preferred for long term durability.

• Garden furniture is often made from tropical hardwood that is durable in the wet Danish weather. A large majority of imported tropical hardwood garden furniture is FSC certified.

• In parallel with media coverage related to global climate problems, campaigns for ecological and fair trade products have been run in recent year increasing the awareness and demand from consumers that products should be produced under conditions that are environmentally and socially sustainable, which again points to the relevance of certification schemes, particularly FSC.

It is not easy to gain a share of the Danish market, but to improve the possibilities of success the following conditions should be given consideration:


Export News 2010 • The Danish importers of wood are often conservative and tend to stick to suppliers they can rely

on, therefore to attract the importers new suppliers from developing countries have to offer something special. As the traditional types of tropical wood are becoming rare, access to the market may be established by offering alternative hardwood products; particular if certified.

• Managers in Danish wood imports arc very concerned with and competent in forest and timber management, hence the developing countries supplier needs to demonstrate knowledge on management mechanisms of the trade, including e.g. proper transport from forest to sawmill, saw milling and drying processes.

• In a business offer, quantities and duration of supply must be made clear as marketing and transport costs to Denmark are high. To market it worthwhile to establish an industrial production, a fairly large quantity of wood has to be guaranteed and the supplier must be able to provide details on the time horizon, i.e. for how long will he/she be able to supply the wood.

• To maintain the confidence of a Danish business relation, reliability in terms of delivering the agreed goods at the right place and time is essential;

• Personal contacts are decisive for establishing the business contact. The first point of contact would often be the local or regional agent of the importing company;

• The Danish importer or his/her agent will want to inspect the wood and the place of logging. It is decisive that such visit is well organized and that samples of products and relevant documentation are provided;

• Both for inspection and for the quality of the product it is important that all steps of the: process from logging to arrival at the buyer are well planned and agreed. This includes proper transport, sawing according to required specifications and appropriate drying;

• Timber certification is increasingly important for the Danish timber market, especially when the timber is sourced in developing countries. FSC certification and MTCC (Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme) arc becoming increasingly important in this market - and certification is particularly an asset if promoting species less well known than teak and mahogany. While constituting a barrier to non-certified suppliers, this provides opportunities to exporters who comply with the criteria.
