Are retail stores that are not FSC-certified able to sell a milled/finished product and still allow the product to retain the FSC label? Is there a difference in FSC "chain of custody" standards between milled/finished woods and raw lumber? -

As for your other specific question, those who sell FSC products to end consumers usually do not need to become certified. Remember, the FSC label is the link between responsible production and consumption. CoC makes it possible to track materials and products through the production chain and enable the consumer to feel confident that the product came from environmentally sound sources.
