You must notify the Forestry Commission if you, your agent or broker plan to import non-regulated solid fuel wood into England, Scotland or Wales.
This helps prevent harmful tree and forestry pests and diseases being introduced.
Solid fuel wood (firewood) includes:
- logs
- kindling
- twigs
- billets
- faggots
You, your agent or broker must make sure any regulate or non-regulated firewood meets import requirements in England, Scotland and Wales (Great Britain) before it’s exported.
The Forestry Commission will decide if there’s a risk that your firewood could introduce harmful tree pests or diseases into the UK. They may inspect your consignment before allowing it to cross the border.
