African timber China import Agent, Africa logs China import services, China customs clearance for Africa lumber
Merchants disclosed that new Pterocarpus spp.containers arrived at ports in succession during Chinese New year. But we noticed that generally the arrival quantity was not big. Merchants say, as not sure when Africa timber exporting countries will re-open customs at present, in a short run,there wont be too much goods coming back, which indicates that prices of Pterocarpus spp. wont rebuild in a short term. Also, it is pointed out that, along with the climbing of customs clearance costs, it is unlikely that prices of Pterocarpus spp. will fall considerably, even when the export countries open customs again. Therefore, Pterocarpus spp. will still sell great in rosewood market. Currectly, the quotation price of Pterocarpus spp.is between RMB5800-6500/ton.
As a professional China import agent for logs and timber, Seahog notices that market attention to African Ebony keeps rising in recent years. Thus we predicts that African Ebony will have good sales performance this year. With moderate pricing, high cost-effectiveness, and relatively high-grade quality and proportion, African Ebony is highly competitive. The supply of Dalbergia cochinchinensis Pierre and Dalbergia retusa is shrinking and is hard to satisfy China domestic market needs. In this case, China furniture manufacturers is looking for a new substitute timber. African Ebony, catching this trend, will have a bright future.
In addition, we think that Spirostachys africana Sond also have great developmentpotentials, which is reflected its rising prices. It is disclosed that, from the second half of 2013, prices of precious woods has kept rising, and merchants have to develop new woods to produce furniture, which brings opportunity to other woods. In 2013, price of Spirostachys africana Sond was around RMB5200-5500/ton, now the price has climbed to RMB8000. We really look forward to its market development potentials.
