About Global Timber Trade Hub
We supply ethically harvested Central African hardwood to importers, distributors, mills and builders worldwide, from the forest concession to your port.
Who we are
Global Timber Trade Hub is an exporter and wholesale supplier of African hardwoods. We work directly with licensed concession holders and sawmills in the Congo Basin, the forest zone that covers Cameroon, Gabon, the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic and DR Congo. Our team brings more than a decade of experience in forestry, sawmilling and timber export.
Buyers come to us for one reason: a single, reliable point of contact for species selection, cutting, drying, grading, export documents and shipping. We handle the work on the ground in Central Africa so that you receive the timber you ordered, with the paperwork your customs broker needs.
What we supply
30 hardwood species
From volume species such as Sapele, Okoume and Ayous to heavy structural timbers like Azobe and Tali, and exotics such as Wenge and Bubinga.
Every product form
Logs where export is legally permitted, rough-sawn and kiln-dried lumber, squares and beams, decking, railway sleepers, slabs, veneer and plywood, cut to your list.
Who we work with
- Timber importers and distributors buying full containers
- Sawmills and veneer and plywood mills
- Flooring, furniture, door and window manufacturers
- Marine and civil engineering contractors
- Boat builders, luthiers and specialist workshops buying exotic species
How we work
- Direct sourcing: we buy from concessions and mills we know, not through chains of traders.
- Inspection before loading: moisture, dimensions, grade and defects are checked, and you receive photos of every bundle.
- Full documentation: certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, legality documents and CITES permits for listed species.
- Secure trade terms: deposit with balance against shipping documents, or letter of credit, with container numbers and tracking shared before departure.
