Worried about bringing or shipping timber to your country? You don’t need to worry.
At Tirtha Wangi, our wooden products can be properly treated and fumigated before international shipping when required. These treatments help protect the wood from insects and other pests and prepare our products for international transportation.
If you have concerns about customs or wood documentation, we can also provide a Wood Declaration Certificate with an official stamp when applicable. This document can be presented to customs or quarantine authorities at an airport or port if required.
Many of our international customers have successfully purchased and received our handcrafted wooden products. However, import and quarantine requirements can vary from one country to another, so we always recommend checking the regulations in your destination country before traveling or importing wooden products.
Why Proper Wood Treatment Is Important
Proper wood treatment is an important part of preparing wooden crafts for international transportation. Timber can be vulnerable to insects and other pests, particularly when the wood has not been properly dried or treated.
The outer wood, or sapwood, generally contains more moisture and nutrients and can be more attractive to certain insects. The inner wood, known as heartwood, is usually denser and more naturally resistant to pests. Proper drying and treatment help reduce the risk of insect activity and maintain the quality of the timber.
Depending on the product and shipping requirements, our wooden crafts may undergo processes such as kiln drying, fumigation, treatment, and finishing. These processes help prepare the products for safe handling and international transportation.
We understand that buying wooden crafts from another country can raise questions about customs, quarantine, and documentation. That is why we are happy to assist our customers with information about wood treatment, shipping, and available documentation.
