Abstract

These Rules implement provisions of the Timber Act in respect of the grading and exportation of timber. The Rules specify conditions for the exportation of timber, prescribe a form for an export permit and a certificate of grading and lay down rules and standards for the grading of timber. No person shall export any timber unless it has been graded by a grader in the manner specified in, and complies with one of the grades set out in the Second, Third and Fourth Schedules to these Rules. A grading inspector may inspect the grading of timber which has been graded by graders and may examine any other matter connected with the grading, handling, storage and transport of timber which the Chief Conservator of Forests may require.
