We Buy Tiama Sawn Timber — Congo (DR)

This is a genuine, recurring buying requirement: Tiama sawn timber, Congo (DR) origin, shipped to Hai Phong, Vietnam.

We buy on a regular monthly volume — container by container, with long-term supply strongly preferred over one-off spot lots. Tiama, an African mahogany relative also traded as edinam, is bought by Vietnamese factories for furniture, interior joinery and veneer where a plainer, more affordable mahogany tone is acceptable.

What we use Tiama for in Vietnam: Tiama, an African mahogany relative also traded as edinam, is bought by Vietnamese factories for furniture, interior joinery and veneer where a plainer, more affordable mahogany tone is acceptable. Sawn tiama becomes wardrobe parts, bed frames, mouldings and door components, while sliced veneer faces flush doors and wall panels in commercial fit-outs. Boatyards use it for interior cabin joinery. Flooring plants occasionally run tiama in engineered constructions for warm mid-brown floors. Its wide boards and steady African supply make it a practical volume species, purchased as kiln-dried lumber and veneer with routine documentation. A medium-density African hardwood of the mahogany family, dull red-brown with interlocked grain and moderately coarse texture. Moderately durable, it saws and machines easily though tearing can occur on the quarter; it stains and finishes well.

Shipping from Congo (DR): cargo typically loads at Matadi and Boma. DR Congo ships wenge, afrormosia, iroko and sapelli via the Matadi corridor, often transshipping through Pointe-Noire. Logistics and administration are demanding, and legality scrutiny is the highest in the region: require full concession, harvest and export documentation, plus CITES permits for afrormosia, before payment commitments.
