DA Global Sourcing, a Vietnam-based importer, is actively looking for sawmills, forestry companies and exporters in the Central African Republic, Cameroon and Congo who can supply Sapelli (also traded as Sapele) (Entandrophragma cylindricum) round logs on a recurring monthly basis — 40-50 containers / month, ongoing. If you have Sapelli stock available or produce it regularly, this is a direct route to a real, verified buyer in Vietnam — not a broker chain.
Why Sapelli From Central Africa
Sapelli (Sapele) is a reddish-brown mahogany-family hardwood known for its striking ribbon figure. It is widely used in furniture, veneer, joinery, boat building and musical instrument manufacturing.
What We Are Looking For
We purchase Sapelli primarily as round logs, forestry-prepared and marked per piece for export. Exact dimensions and grading are agreed per shipment based on what you currently have available; we do not require a fixed specification before the first conversation.
- Recurring volume of 40-50 containers / month, on an ongoing monthly basis
- Round logs, forestry-prepared and numbered per piece
- Legal, traceable origin with a phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate and, where applicable, FLEGT / timber-legality documentation
- A supplier able to sustain this volume reliably every month — not a one-off shipment
- FOB or CIF terms — whichever your company is set up to handle; target price negotiable based on your best offer
Looking for a Long-Term, Reliable Supply Partner
This is a standing monthly requirement, not a one-time purchase. We would rather work with one or two dependable suppliers who can consistently deliver 40-50 containers / month than juggle many one-off sellers. If your operation can commit to a stable monthly supply schedule — even if your current volume only covers part of that number — we are open to discussing a long-term arrangement, including combining stock from a small group of partners to reach the required volume.
Why Work Directly With DA Global Sourcing
Many exporters in Central Africa lose margin to layers of intermediaries before timber reaches an Asian buyer. We buy directly, without adding unnecessary middlemen on our side, and we are transparent about one thing in particular:
We never ask suppliers to pay any fee upfront. If anyone contacts you claiming to represent DA Global Sourcing and requests a payment before shipment, verify directly through our official contact details below.
Our team handles quality verification, documentation review, international logistics and customs coordination on the Vietnam side — so your part of the process stays focused on what you already do: producing and shipping quality timber.
How the Process Works
- Share your available Sapelli stock, typical dimensions and realistic monthly capacity
- We review photos, documentation and, where relevant, request a sample or inspection
- We agree on quotation, Incoterms and a recurring monthly shipment schedule
- Logistics and import clearance are coordinated on our end through to delivery in Vietnam, shipment after shipment
