Independent certification for
responsibly sourced hardwood.
We audit importers from forest to port and verify replanting in every country of harvest, so your buyers and regulators can trust every shipment.
Research before you source
Better hardwood decisions start here.
Know your hardwood
Species profiles, properties, CITES status and side-by-side comparison.
Understand the schemes
What FSC, PEFC and legality labels actually certify—and where to verify them.
Know the import rules
EUDR, Lacey Act, UKTR, CITES and more, market by market.
Verify a certificate
Confirm a ClearSource record by certificate number, one at a time.
Buy with a plan
Save a purchasing checklist and take it from quotation to delivery.
Built on Three Pillars
Every company we certify must meet these three core requirements.
Verification
Every certified company undergoes rigorous documentation review and independent third-party audits to confirm sourcing practices meet our standard.
Traceability
Full chain-of-custody documentation from forest stand to delivery, verified at every stage of the supply chain.
Replanting Commitment
Certified companies commit to replanting in the exact country of harvest — not offsets, not credits. Trees in the ground.
What Our Certification Has Achieved
