Jul 05, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. The British company Jewson will temporarily stop selling Amazon timbers from its more than 600 stores in England, ITTO reported.

According to the company while exporters are only required to have official Brazilian documents related to timber transport (Document of Forest Origin - GF3) this was considered insufficient to ensure and demonstrate the legal origin of wood.

The British company has moved to strengthen its chain of custody audit and has contracted specialists in Brazil to assist with this.
