The Center for International Trade in Forest Products, CINTRAFOR, is one of three applied research centers within University of Washington's College of Forest Resources.

CINTRAFOR helps forest products exports by:

1. Collecting and distributing information on rapidly changing foreign markets, including consumption trends, distribution channels, trading systems, codes/standards and the regulatory environment.

2. Applying research findings to technical, environmental, economic, social and resource management problems that impede exports of specific products.

3. Training forest product professionals by providing funding for graduate level research on the international trade in forest products.
