content: str = """
Chain-of-custody systems prove that timber products originate from approved and
documented sources. In sustainable logging operations, traceability must connect
harvest authorization, stand location, log identification, transport records, and
mill delivery confirmation. Any break in documentation can compromise certification
claims and trigger commercial or legal disputes.

Core controls include unique load references, tamper-resistant transport tickets,
daily reconciliation of harvested versus dispatched volume, and role separation
between field marking, dispatch confirmation, and records approval. Digital logs
improve transparency but still require disciplined field capture and validation.

Exception handling is as important as normal workflow. Mismatched volumes, missing
tickets, or unclear origin points should trigger an immediate hold-and-verify
process. Teams should document root cause, corrective action, and prevention steps.
Strong traceability supports market access, customer trust, and defensible claims
about responsible forest management practices.
