This session is tailored for importers and processors sourcing FSC-certified materials, offering crucial insights to ensure compliance.
The webinar is relevant to FSC certificate holders. It is also relevant to non-certified organisations that import and/or process material sourced from FSC-certified suppliers and need to verify that the certification applies to the particular product.
This webinar is designed to provide importers and processors of FSC-certified material with crucial information to ensure compliance with Australia’s illegal logging laws. Participants will gain insights into various aspects of the intersection between Australia’s illegal logging laws and FSC certification such as:
- Obligations of importers and processors under Australia’s illegal logging laws when sourcing material from FSC-certified suppliers.
- Understanding FSC chain of custody certification, including requirements for compliance with timber legality legislation
- Clarifying how importers and processors can utilise FSC claims to support compliance
- Identifying parts of the laws where FSC certificate holders can rely on their current procedures for compliance
- Determining areas where importers and processors are required to undertake further due diligence for compliance
- Verifying suppliers of FSC-certified material
- Receiving and handling FSC-certified material, including receiving FSC claims on sales materials and transferring material between sites.
The webinar will be held on 21 March at 2pm EST Australia.
