Timber import controls amid exchange restrictions wave
The Minister of Customs Mr Harrison announced tighter timber import limits amid non sterling exchange pressures. He outlined phased reductions and a future total prohibition, with quotas on redwood and western red cedar, 40 percent cuts for Oregon timber and 60 percent for hemlock, plus a duty concession for Guinea timber used in boxes and doors. Supplies for butter boxes would be safeguarded if Australian sources fail.
