Description

The Forestry Commission England will be awarding a contract for trade analysis of EU - GB controlled wood, wood products and bark import under an EU Exit 'no deal' scenario.

The purpose of this requirement is to identify the point of entry (POE) and quantify the number of consignments and volume of trade of controlled timber (wood, wood products and bark) currently being imported (plant passported) from the European Union to Great Britain (GB). This insight will better inform the Forestry Commission, on plant passported material currently being imported. This is important because if the UK exits the EU under a 'no deal' scenario, this trade will need phytosanitary certificates and associated documentary and identity checks that are currently unrequired.
