About us
Top timber export company in Cameroon
A tropical hardwood exporter built on direct sourcing.
JAM WOOD EXPORT is a Douala-based tropical hardwood supplier, working with licensed forest concessions and sawmills across Cameroon to prepare timber for buyers in Asia and Europe.
We sell hardwood the way we'd want to buy it
Cameroon has been exporting tropical hardwood for decades, and the market has no shortage of brokers reselling timber they’ve never inspected. We work the other way. JAM WOOD EXPORT buys directly from licensed concessions and sawmills in Cameroon’s timber-producing regions, grades each lot ourselves, and keeps the paperwork trail intact from the forest to the port of Douala.
That matters more now than it used to. European buyers are working through EUDR due-diligence requirements, and Asian buyers who once cared only about price are increasingly asking for traceable, well-documented supply. We built the business around answering both.

How We Work
Source
We buy logs and sawn timber directly from licensed forest concessions and sawmills, not from unverified intermediaries.
Grade
Each lot is graded against standard export rules (FAS/1C and comparable grading) before it’s offered to a buyer.
Document
Certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate and chain-of-custody paperwork are prepared before the container is booked, not after.
Ship
Loaded from the Port of Douala as FCL or consolidated LCL, with packing matched to the destination market’s requirements.
Why Documentation Comes First
The compliance landscape has changed
For years, exporters could lean on FLEGT licensing to reassure European buyers that timber was legally sourced. That framework was never fully operational in Cameroon, and the EU-Cameroon FLEGT partnership was formally ended in 2025. We don't advertise a FLEGT license because it isn't accurate to do so, and any supplier who claims one is worth a direct question.
What we do instead is we do keep permits, certificates of origin and chain-of-custody records for every lot, and prepare geolocation and due-diligence documentation to support your own EUDR compliance checks. It's less of a marketing line and more of a paperwork habit, but it's the one buyers actually need.
