Requirements and Methods for Exporting Bajakah Wood Abroad
The procedures for exporting bajakah wood are quite complicated, especially for beginners. This is because wood export regulations in several parts of the country are very strictly regulated.

But there's no need to worry, there are several general guidelines that you must understand if you want to export wood abroad. In accordance with government regulations, the following are several rules that must be fulfilled.
Here are the export regulations for Bajakah wood
1. Wood Must Have a SVLK Certificate
Make sure that the wood you want to export has complete permits. One of the mandatory permits from the government currently is to have a Timber Legality Verification Letter (SVLK) certificate. This certificate is a type of international certificate to prove that the wood does not come from dirty sources.
The government's aim in developing the SVLK is to make trade and distribution of forest products legal in Indonesia. The requirements for fulfilling the SVLK document are no sooner than three months after the NIB is issued. During the first three months, companies wishing to export are required to have records and reports on implementing procedures.
2. Looking for Credible Buyers
The next step in exporting Bajakah wood is to ensure that your buyer is credible. Wood from Indonesia is a superior product with a lot of interest. So it is not surprising that demand for wood exports continues to increase every year.

3. Use a Secure Payment System
For export transactions, the Indonesian government requires sellers and buyers to use the Letter of Credit (LC) system. The LC payment system is a system where the buyer asks for a down payment first. The aim of using this payment is so that the buying and selling transaction process is safe for both parties.
4. Understand Export Rules
Exporting Bajakah wood abroad is certainly not the same as exporting products in general. There are so many details that you have to pay attention to. Even the rules for exporting wood are very strictly regulated.
For example, the cross-sectional area of wood cannot be more than 10,000 mm2 with a thickness of 10 cm × width of 10 cm. Meanwhile, for other types of wood, it is only 4000 mm or 4 cm × 10 cm. Provided that all four sides of the wood must be planed smoothly. If it exceeds the area, then the wood must be given a decorative profile.
5. Export Undername
The thing that most often hinders novice exporters is not having an export factory. If you are still a beginner, exporting undername is the right choice.
Undername or often known as borrowing the company flag. Actually this is not allowed, but most novice exporters use this method. If you use an undername, the wood will be exported and recognized as the property of the company.
Later you will also be charged a flag borrowing fee by the company you are borrowing from. If exports are running smoothly, you can build your own factory and get your own wood export permit.
Those are some of the rules regarding the export of Bajakah woodthat beginner exporters should know. If you want to send a package overseas, make sure you choose a safe and reliable delivery service. This way the package will be safe and reach the buyers' hands.
