Export Data & Framework
Two layers of control
Every legal export must satisfy both the international CITES permit regime and India's domestic DGFT export policy. Documented, legally sourced timber is the only compliant route.
Reading the real figures
Export quantities and values change with each policy cycle. Confirm them against official trade statistics (DGCIS) and the exact DGFT notification. [Insert verified, dated figures with links before publication, do not assert a tonnage here.]
