Logs: key specifications
Logs are specified by species, with or without bark, length (for example 2.0–2.5 m), small-end diameter range, straightness and freshness. Pulp-quality logs prioritise fibre and bark removal; sawlogs prioritise diameter and defects.
Woodchips by end use
Pulp chips need clean, debarked wood with a controlled chip size and low fines. MDF chips tolerate a broader mix. Energy chips are judged on moisture, ash and calorific value rather than fibre quality.
Certification and documents
Many mills require FSC® or PEFC chain-of-custody claims, and energy buyers may require SBP or other sustainability evidence. Ask that any claim appears on the invoice with the supplier's valid certificate code.
What to include in your RFQ
Give species, form, specification, monthly volume, delivery by truck or vessel, destination, Incoterm and certification requirements.
