Firewood importers

[Alycidon]

Gents,

 

Those of you who bring in container loads of kiln dried logs from the Baltic and elsewhere.

 

You will be aware that for the last couple of years we have had to be registered with the Govt as an importer of timber products and most containers are checked for disease by the FC.

 

In Dec 19 a new set of regs came into place with one days notice,  again requiring registration,   from what I can see this only applies to living timber or unkilned timber with bark attached.

 

I rang the FC for guidance as to if I needed to register and they had no idea, so I did not register.   I have today had a chase up.

 

Has anybody here registered under this new scheme ?,  if so I might need some of the questions putting into plain English if I also need to register.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

A
