In an effort to ease possible trade friction with the United States and the European Union, China is establishing a system to verify its timber products have been logged legally.

The pilot project is being tested with a group of companies and is working back through their supply chains to find out where the timber is harvested.

"China is determined to strengthen its domestic logging and to enhance the legality and sustainability of the wood trade," said Zhang Yanhong with the State Administration of Forestry.
