Timber transport document

A timber transport document records a load moving from harvest, sawmill or yard.

Its official name varies by country. It can identify the carrier, sender, receiver, wood, quantity, vehicle and journey.

The record supports traceability but is not proof of every provenance claim by itself. Match it to permits, invoices and the physical load.
