We are a wood importer in Vietnam with a standing monthly requirement for Saman logs from Ecuador.
We buy on a regular monthly volume — container by container, with long-term supply strongly preferred over one-off spot lots. Saman, the rain tree or monkeypod, arrives in Vietnam mostly as slabs and squares for the live-edge furniture trade.

What we use Saman for in Vietnam: Saman, the rain tree or monkeypod, arrives in Vietnam mostly as slabs and squares for the live-edge furniture trade. Workshops sand and finish single-slab dining tables, coffee tables and counter tops with dramatic dark figure against golden sapwood, a look that sells strongly in export and domestic showrooms alike. Carvers produce the famous monkeypod bowls, trays and platters, and thick saman blanks become resin-river tables in Vietnam's booming epoxy furniture sector. Offcuts serve chopping boards and decor. Buyers import kiln-dried or air-dried slabs from Latin American and Southeast Asian plantations, prioritizing width, figure and sound drying. A medium-density tropical hardwood with walnut-like dark brown heart, wide cream sapwood and bold, often crossed grain. Easy to carve and machine, moderately durable, and available in exceptional slab widths from broad-crowned plantation trees.
Shipping from Ecuador: cargo typically loads at Guayaquil. Ecuador is the world's balsa capital and also exports plantation teak logs and squares plus eucalyptus. Guayaquil offers regular container services to Asia. Teak shipments to Asia are well established with routine phytosanitary handling; verify plantation registration documents to keep legality files complete.
