Mill & process

Not just lumber. Finished millwork.

Most importers stop at rough boards. We don’t. Our partner mill in Trinidad runs an industrial moulder that produces surfaced-four-sides stock and custom-profile mouldings — at the source, before the container leaves the port.

  • S4S surfacing in any species

    Planed and dimensioned to your spec at the mill — no domestic re-milling required.

  • Custom profile moulding

    Send a drawing, get a sample. Base, casing, trim, and architectural profiles in teak, mahogany, apamate, or cedar.

  • Compliance handled end-to-end

    Every container ships with a complete regulatory documentation package: phytosanitary cert, Lacey Act filing, ISPM-15 pallets, and CBTPA duty preference.

Regulatory & Compliance

Every FCL, audit-ready.

A complete regulatory documentation package ships with every container — structured to satisfy corporate legal audit requirements and USDA port-of-entry inspection. No supplemental filings required by the importer.

T&T Forestry Division Removal Permit

Government-issued removal permit from the Trinidad & Tobago Forestry Division authorising legal extraction and export of each declared species.

USDA APHIS Phytosanitary Certificate

Official phytosanitary certificate accepted by USDA APHIS, confirming freedom from regulated pests for US port-of-entry clearance.

PPQ Form 505 — Lacey Act Declaration

Complete species declaration filed per the Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. § 3372), listing genus, species, country of harvest, and volume per line item.

ISPM-15 Heat-Treated Dunnage

All wood packaging and dunnage is ISPM-15 stamped and heat-treated (HT) — eliminating quarantine delays at US ports of entry.

CBTPA Duty-Free Origin

Trinidad & Tobago qualifies under the Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act — preferential import duty treatment available on eligible HS codes.

Anyone can sell a board. Almost no one in the US sells finished apamate moulding — that’s the gap we’re built around.
