What is FSC Certification?

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification ensures wood products come from responsibly managed forests. For furniture importers, FSC certification is increasingly required by major US retailers.

Types of FSC Certification

FSC 100%

Wood from FSC-certified forests. Full traceability from tree to finished product.

FSC Mix

Wood from certified forests, recycled materials, and controlled sources.

FSC Recycled

Made entirely from reclaimed or recycled wood.

Why US Retailers Require FSC

Major retailers including Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Walmart have ESG commitments requiring FSC-certified suppliers. NAFOCO’s full Chain of Custody certification makes it easy for buyers to meet these requirements.
