5. The forest product owner is an organization, individual, business household, family household, or community resident legally owning forest products according to the law.

6. The forest owner is an organization, individual, family household, or community resident granted forests or leased forests; allocated or leased land for planting forests; self-restored or developed forests; received transferred, donated, or inherited forests according to the law.

7. Harvesting common forest animals from nature is the activity of removing common forest animal individuals, eggs, larvae from their natural habitats.

8. Finished wood products are products made from wood assembled with all components according to the product's function or disassembled parts of the product, which can be immediately used upon assembly according to the product's function.

9. Common forest plants are those not included in the Catalogue of Endangered, Precious, and Rare Forest Plants and Animals and not listed in the CITES Appendices.

Article 4. Determination of quantity and volume of forest products

1. Method of measuring and calculating the volume of roundwood and sawn timber shaped into cylindrical forms4:

a) Length: Measure the shortest distance between the cross-sections at both ends of the log. If the cross-section at the end of the log is tilted or concave, measure at the position with the shortest length between the two ends of the log. The unit of measurement is meters, taking whole numbers and two decimal places after the units.

b) Diameter: Measure at both ends of the log (excluding bark); measure at two positions with the largest and smallest diameters at each end of the log, then calculate the average value to determine the diameter of each end of the log; the average diameter of the log is calculated by averaging the diameters of the two ends of the log; the unit of measurement is centimeters, taking whole numbers and one decimal place after the units.

c) Volume is determined based on the wood volume:

V = π/4 x (Dtb)2 x l

Where:

V: Volume in cubic meters (m3), taking whole numbers and three decimal places after the units

π: Constant pi (π = 3.14)

DtbD: Average diameter of the log (m)

l: Shortest distance between the two cross-sections (m)

d) The error in calculating the volume of wood in each measurement for each piece of roundwood or cylindrical log is ten percent (±10%).

2. Method of measuring and calculating the volume of sawn timber and carved timber shaped into rectangular planks, sheets, or boxes (cross-sectional and longitudinal cuts are square or rectangular):

a) Length: Measure the shortest distance between the cross-sections at both ends of each plank, sheet, or box of wood. The unit of measurement is meters, taking whole numbers and two decimal places after the units.

b) Width and thickness: Measure the distance between two opposite longitudinal sections of each plank, sheet, or box of wood. In cases where the wood surfaces are skewed or wavy, measure at the positions with the largest and smallest sizes and calculate the average value; the unit of measurement is centimeters, taking whole numbers and one decimal place after the units.

c) Volume is determined based on the wood volume:

V = l x a x b

Where:

V: Volume (m3), taking whole numbers and three decimal places after the units

l: Shortest distance between the two cross-sections (m)

a: Width of the box (m)

b: Thickness of the box (m)

d) The error in calculating the volume of wood in each measurement for each plank, sheet, or box of sawn or carved timber is five percent (±5%).

3. Method of measuring and calculating the volume of sawn timber and carved timber shaped into polygonal column forms:

a) Length: Measure the shortest distance between the cross-sections at both ends of the polygonal column. The unit of measurement is meters, taking whole numbers and two decimal places after the units.

b) Calculate the cross-sectional area: It is the average value of the largest and smallest cross-sectional areas of the polygonal column. The unit of measurement is square meters (m2), taking whole numbers and two decimal places after the units.

c) Volume is determined based on the wood volume:

V = l x S

Where:

V: Volume (m3), taking whole numbers and three decimal places after the units

l: Shortest distance between the two cross-sections (m)

S: Cross-sectional area of the polygonal block (m2)

d) The error in calculating the volume of wood in each measurement for each polygonal column is five percent (±5%).

4. Method of measuring and determining the volume of tree trunks5:

a)6 Height:

For trees with roots, trunks, branches, and leaves intact: measure the total height of the tree from the ground level at the base to the point where the trunk has a diameter of 6 cm at the top.

For trees with roots, trunks, branches, and leaves but the top has been cut off: measure the total height from the ground level at the base to the cutting point at the top.

In the case where the tree still has a trunk, top, branches, and leaves but has been cut at the root: measure the total length from the cutting surface of the root to the position where the diameter of the tree is 6 cm.

In the case where the tree has multiple trunks or branches: measure the length of each section of the trunk or branch that meets the circular wood size requirements specified in this Circular.

The unit of measurement is meters, with whole numbers and two decimal places after the units.

b)7 Diameter: Measure the circumference to determine the diameter at the 1.3-meter mark from the cross-section of the root; for trees with multiple trunks or branches meeting the circular wood size requirements specified in this Circular, measure the circumference of each wooden trunk. The unit of measurement is centimeters, with whole numbers and one decimal place after the units.

c) Volume is determined according to the volume of the wood:

C = (C21.3/4π) x Hvn x f

Where:

V: Wood volume calculated by volume (m3) with whole numbers and three decimal places after the units

C1.3: Circumference at the 1.3-meter mark of the tree (m)

π: Pi constant (π=3.14)

Hvn: Total length of the tree measured from the root to the top (m)

f: Form factor of the tree trunk (for planted forest trees, the value of f is 0.5; for natural forest trees, the value of f is 0.45).

d) The volume calculation error for each measurement of individual trees is ten percent (±10%).

5. In the case of hollow or decayed wood, record the weight of the hollow and decayed parts in the Forest Products Inventory Table.

6.8 For wood not falling under the provisions of Clause 2 Article 3, Clause 3 Article 4 of this Circular; trees whose diameter cannot be determined at the 1.3-meter mark; roots, stumps, wood with complex shapes, non-uniform wood; peeled wood, wood chips, wood that cannot be measured for dimensions should be weighed, with the unit of measurement being kilograms (kg) or calculated in stere; convert 1000 kg to 01 m3 of roundwood or convert 01 stere to 0.7 m3 of roundwood.

7. The unit of measurement for animals is the number of individuals, for animal eggs it is the number of fruits; if the quantity cannot be determined, weigh using kilograms (kg).

8.9 The unit of measurement for non-wood forest plants is kilograms (kg) or stere; forest products belonging to the families of bamboo, rattan, palm, mulberry, and coconut are determined by the number of plants or by weighing, with the unit of measurement being kilograms (kg); parts of wild animals are determined by kilograms (kg).

9. Derivatives of animals and plants are determined by kilograms (kg), meters (m3), liters, or milliliters (ml).

10.10 Number logs, sections, boxes, planks of roundwood, round-shaped peeled wood according to the specifications set out in Point a, Point b Clause 2 Article 3 of this Circular; sawn timber, box-shaped peeled wood with a length of 1 meter or more, width of 20 cm or more, thickness of 5 cm or more; sawn timber, peeled timber shaped into polygonal cylindrical forms; timber listed in Appendix CITES or endangered, precious, rare species group IA, IIA regardless of size.
