Since the beginning of 2020 the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) has strengthened its oversight of Brazilian timber exports. Around 35,000 forest products made from timber coming from natural forests are exported annually with 90% being shipped through four main ports in the states of Pará, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Amazonas.

In addition to the monitoring and on-site inspection work carried out IBAMA has required mandatory inclusion of the Document of Forest Origin (DOF) registration number in the Single Export Declaration (Documento Único de Exportação - DUE).

The DOF is required for transportation, processing, trade, consumption and storage of forest products and byproducts coming from native forests. Details are now loaded directly into the Integrated Foreign Trade System (Portal Único de Comércio Exterior do Sistema Integrado de Comércio Exterior) SISCOMEX.

The requirement for a DOF registration number for wood products export has brought an improvement in inspection procedures and a significant reduction in the possibility for corruption.
