The DENR Certificate of Timber Origin is a critical document for anyone involved in the Philippine timber industry, from logging operations to furniture manufacturers and exporters. This form streamlines your application process for obtaining official certification that your wood products are legally sourced and comply with Philippine forestry regulations.

Why You Need a Certificate of Timber Origin

Under Philippine law, all timber and timber products must be accompanied by proper documentation proving legal origin. The Certificate of Timber Origin, issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), serves as your proof of compliance with the Revised Forestry Code, Executive Order 23, and related environmental regulations. Without this certificate, you risk penalties, confiscation of goods, and legal action.

Perfect for Philippine Forestry Professionals

This template is designed for timber concessionaires, wood processors, furniture manufacturers, timber traders, exporters, and anyone in the Philippine wood products supply chain who needs to document legal timber sourcing.

Complete Chain of Custody Documentation

The form includes comprehensive fields for documenting the entire chain of custody—from the original harvesting location and permit details through processing facilities and current custody. You'll capture timber species, volumes, dimensions, transport details, and all relevant permit numbers that DENR officers require for verification.
