Restrictions and prohibitions in the field of timber export in Russia in modern conditions

Abstract

The article analyzes the measures of state regulation of the export of unprocessed timber, aimed at reducing the volume of its export from the country and providing raw materials for Russian timber industry enterprises. The tools are given to support the restructuring of the logging business for deep processing of wood in the context of a ban on the export of unprocessed coniferous timber from Russia. A differentiated and gradual transitional period for the implementation of the ban on the export of industrial round timber is proposed, during which the modernized version of LesEGAIS can become an effective tool for controlling timber transactions.
