Timber, also known as "Lumber" in the US and Canada is a type of wood. It is the outermost skin of the tree which consists of fissures, cracks, and fibres. In simple words, any wood or firwood of trees which can be yielded to a minimum size in terms of dimensions can be called a timber. They are uniform in colour, resistant to fire, have low water permeability, and bear a pleasant smell when they're freshly cut. The word “timber” is derived from the old English word "timbrian" which means "to build". And that's what it actually does. It is used in building furniture, roofs, fences, and even paper.
Timbers have a number of properties which makes them a perfect fit for the engineering industries. Those properties are being naturally available, having good strength, and the flexibility to be converted to any shapes and sizes. Decking timber is one of the famous types of timber which is specifically used for building outdoor decks and patios. Other than that, there are various types of timber which have different values in the market based on their uses and quality. Sandalwood is one of the most expensive timber, which is why it is called “liquid gold” in India.
Timber's presence in the global trade industry is strong due to several economic and environmental factors. Its functions are not only limited to construction, but they are also widely used as fuels in the form of charcoal, increasing the durability of tool handles, and crafting musical instruments. Softwood, which comes from Exogenous trees, is used in construction for several purposes, like giving structural support and framing. On the other hand, hardwood has its role in the luxury market that produces furniture and musical instruments. This is why several countries depend on pine wood imports, which is a widely used timber in furniture making.
Timbers thrive in sunlight, moderate temperature, ample rainfall, and balanced soil pH, along with other conditions. And Middle East countries, Japan, the UK, and some regions of Europe do not have that type of climate for the production of timber. So, they rely heavily on the US, China, and Russia to fulfill their consumer demands.
However, the current timber trade industry has faced some backlash due to illegal activities. These cases are centered around illegal cutting of trees, document fraud, and others. Approximately, $30 million worth of illegal activity is happening in the logging industry. So, the trade industry has now introduced some initiatives that can help prevent illegal activities. Some of which are as follows:
International wood buyers seek trustworthy suppliers who have consistently maintained a good quality in all aspects. Hence, their needs should be a priority for all the suppliers. Here is what
Timber importers will be expecting from a supplier:

When you’re preparing for exporting timber globally, you need to have an understanding of the market conditions. This significantly helps in the business expansion and sets clear targets.
