Export products are also exempted from duties or subjected to concessionary duty rates, while start-up subsidies have made available for a number of exporters. Export promotional schemes have been introduced to help domestic industries and the economic focus more on exports. The Export Development Board assists exporters of the country to sell their products in the global markets. These efforts have increased the number of wood product exporters significantly, enabling them to sell their products in the international market.
