Our factories in Vietnam consume Balsamo / Estoraque sawn timber every month — we are looking for reliable suppliers in Peru.
We buy on a regular monthly volume — container by container, with long-term supply strongly preferred over one-off spot lots. Balsamo, traded internationally as santos mahogany, is bought by Vietnamese flooring producers for rich red-brown floors that outperform true mahogany in hardness.

What we use Balsamo / Estoraque for in Vietnam: Balsamo, traded internationally as santos mahogany, is bought by Vietnamese flooring producers for rich red-brown floors that outperform true mahogany in hardness. Solid and engineered balsamo planks serve upscale residences and hotel corridors, and stair parts benefit from its wear resistance. Furniture factories use it for table tops and reception counters with a deep, fine-textured glow, while exterior-rated stock goes into decking and thresholds. Its fragrant, oily character requires adhesive care in engineered constructions. Vietnamese importers purchase kiln-dried boards and flooring blanks from Central and South American suppliers, with color consistency the main sorting criterion. A heavy Latin American hardwood, orange-brown to deep red-purple with fine texture and interlocked grain. Very durable and hard-wearing with a subtle spicy scent. Natural oils demand proper adhesive selection, but the polished result is outstanding.
Shipping from Peru: cargo typically loads at Callao. Peru exports Amazonian hardwoods including cumaru, shihuahuaco and estoraque, mostly as decking and sawn boards. Legality scrutiny is high: insist on OSINFOR-verifiable harvest origins and complete export dossiers. Rainy-season river logistics from the selva can add weeks, so build schedule buffers into contracts.
