Australia’s Illegal Logging Prohibition Act Compliance Solution

Why ILPA Compliance Is Critical

 

Enable seamless market access, strengthen transparency, and build long-term trust with global partners

Legal Obligation

ILPA requires mandatory due diligence before import non-compliance can lead to fines, enforcement actions, or shipment seizures. 

Supply Chain Accountability

Businesses are responsible for verifying that timber is legally harvested in its country of origin, regardless of supplier assurances.

Market Access Protection

Failure to comply can result in delayed or blocked shipments, disrupting operations and contracts. 

Reputational Risk

Sourcing illegal timber can damage brand credibility, especially in sustainability-focused markets.

DPPs are designed to support market surveillance, customs checks, sustainability claims, and consumer transparency—all in a machine-readable format.

Who Needs to Comply with ILPA

 

ILPA applies to any business that imports regulated timber and wood products into Australia or processes domestically harvested timber. 

Timber and wood product importers
Furniture manufacturers and retailers
Paper, pulp, and packaging companies
Construction material suppliers

DPP Timelines: When Does It Take Effect?

 

DPP requirements roll out by product group, not as a single deadline. Timelines vary by product category and delegated act.
