Costs

Certisource aims to be the most competitive market provider of independent timber verification services.

Supply Chain Audit
It is Certisource policy to only carry out verification work with concessions and sawmills that have passed a due diligence review and agreed written chain of custody procedures with us. A one off charge per supply chain element is levied to cover the costs of carrying out this work.

Third Party Verification
Our charges are based on FOB value and are calculated on a sliding scale determined by a number of factors, including but not limited to -

  • The source and volume of logs to be verified
  • Tracking technologies deployed
  • The volume and range of product output
  • The terms and duration of our contract with a client

Typical charges are in the region of 2% - 6% of FOB value.

Please contact us to discuss your detailed needs and we will be happy to provide you with an accurate estimate of verification costs.
