We have a fair amount or T&G wood that is being installed on the Ceiling. We are purchasing the wood as FSC certified but, this wood is being sent to a company to cut the Tongues and Grooves on it before it arrives on site. Also our millwork subcontractor is NOT FSC certified and is buying FSC certified wood for cabinets and trim. With the subcontractors not being FSC Certified does that break the Chain of custody and therefore make all of this wood not eligible for the FSC Credit? Is there anyway to make this wood count as FSC Certified? I.E. ship the wood directly to the site with chain of custody and then take the wood to the millwork shop for fabrication of cabinets and moldings?

A company that has FSC CoC, e.g. the supplier of the wood, can use an outsourcing agreement to the company doing the T&G and then supply the resulting product to you as FSC-certified. Your millwork subcontractor has to have FSC CoC in order for the certified wood they are using to count toward the credit. Shipping it to the site and then sending it to the millwork shop doesn't work.
