[Office Partner Information Center] The Lao government strictly controls timber exports, which will have a chain reaction to the timber market including rosewood. The Lao government has announced a ban on the export of various tree species, wood products and ornamental plants, and maximized the protection of Laos' natural resources. The Prime Minister of Laos has ordered the suspension of forest registration in production, and asked the responsible official to speed up the formulation of the distribution plan for the production forest and submit it to the government for consideration. Any trees that exceed the approval and harvesting limits will be seized and fined. Government departments must be responsible for timber records, and project developers and contractors can only complete mining through government approval. The Prime Minister has instructed the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to work with relevant departments to improve wood processing to meet acceptable standards. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry will work with the Ministry of Defence and other departments to strengthen patrols in border areas, inspect sawmills and furniture and wood processing plants to prevent illegal logging and log transportation and trade. Those who violate the law will take tough measures to punish illegal logging, trade and related activities.

Laotian Prime Minister Tong Lun released the ban on exporting timber last week. The list of imports and exports listed in the ban includes: logs, timber, partially processed wood, roots, roots, branches, dry and ornamental plants. The ban also includes harvesting quotas, meaning that all forms of logs and timber must have been converted into finished products before they are exported. The law also prohibits the export of timber and non-wood products to third countries after they enter Laos.
