The issuance of a permit for cutting timber and fuel wood shall be regulated by the Forest Law of Mongolia. A timber and fuel wood fee shall be imposed for cutting of any kind of tree in the forest for any purpose. A fee payer shall be exempt from fees for cutting trees for timber, if the purpose is: (a) to protect afforestation areas or the sources of springs; and (b) to build an office for rangers in border areas.
