Simply put, AHEPs are a consignment-specific shipping document providing access to information on the risk of illegality as well as sustainability of the U.S. hardwood species contained in that consignment, together with quantitative data on the environmental impacts associated with delivering that consignment to an individual customer anywhere in the world. These documents satisfy “due diligence” requirements arising from illegal logging legislation such as the Lacey Act in the US, the EU Timber Regulation, and Japanese “Green Procurement” laws. They also encourage market recognition of the wider environmental benefits of American hardwoods.
