The International Wood Products Association (IWPA) has added an additional class to its due care training program for wood trade professionals to help them establish standard operating procedures to comply with the Lacey Act.
The training program, “Seeing the Forest and the Trees,” is designed for CEOs, CFOs, buyers, compliance staff, customs specialists, sales staff, overseas producers and exporters and was developed in partnership with the World Resources Institute utilizing U.S. Agency for International Development funding. The course provides attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the requirements of the Lacey Act as well as other important laws relevant to the trade in wood products including regulations on formaldehyde, CITES and CBP audits.
