VPA annex on Product Scope

Product Scope annex is the first annex out of 10 annexes of FLEGT Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA). The annex indicates what timber and its products are covered in the VPA. When they are included in the VPA, the timber operators exporting to the EU are obliged to follow the procedures based on the VPA.

The VPA annex on product scope identifies each product by a ‘HS’ code, in line with the World Customs Union’s system for classifying products. HS codes enable customs authorities in the EU to identify the product category to which imports belong.

All VPAs must include logs, sawn wood, veneers, plywood, and railway sleepers, but a VPA can also include additional products in order to cover all of the timber exports to the EU. More information about the Thai product scope in the table below.
