Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Rayonier” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited financial statements not included herein. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect any adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , as filed with the SEC (the “2018 Form 10-K”). SUMMARY OF UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES For information on updated significant accounting policies due to the adoption of ASC 842, see Note 3 — Leases . For a full description of our other significant accounting policies, see Note 1 — Basis of Presentation in the 2018 Form 10-K. RECENTLY ADOPTED STANDARDS ASU 2016-02 (ASC 842) The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , on January 1, 2019 and elected to apply the standard as of that day. As such, the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019 includes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to the rights and obligations created by the Company’s long-term leases. Prior periods have not been restated. The Company applied the following practical expedients in the transition to the new standard and allowed under ASC 842-10-65-1: Practical Expedient Description Reassessment of expired or existing contracts The Company elected not to reassess, at the application date, whether any expired or existing contracts contained leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and the accounting for initial direct costs for any existing leases. Use of hindsight The Company elected to use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of right-to-use assets. Reassessment of existing or expired land easements The Company elected not to evaluate existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840, as allowed under the transition practical expedient. Going forward, new or modified land easements will be evaluated under ASU No. 2016-02. See Note 3 — Leases for additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures required under ASU No. 2016-02. OTHER RECENTLY ADOPTED STANDARDS The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted ASU No 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 with no impact on the consolidated financial statements. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In the first quarter 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) did not issue any Accounting Standard Updates which are expected to have a material retrospective or future effect on the consolidated financial statements. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has evaluated events occurring from March 31, 2019

REVENUE

REVENUE	3 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	REVENUE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS The Company recognizes revenues when control of promised goods or services (“performance obligations”) is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). The Company generally satisfies performance obligations within a year of entering into a contract and therefore has applied the disclosure exemption found under ASC 606-10-50-14. Unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2019 are primarily due to advances on stumpage contracts and unearned license revenue.These performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months. The Company generally collects payment within a year of satisfying performance obligations and therefore has elected not to adjust revenues for a financing component. CONTRACT BALANCES The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in accounts receivable and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts receivable are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. The following table summarizes revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each year: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Revenue recognized from contract liability balance at the beginning of the year (a) $5,356 $6,372 (a) Revenue recognized was primarily from hunting licenses and the use of advances on pay-as-cut timber sales.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES ADOPTION OF ASC 842 For information on the adoption of ASC 842, including required transition disclosures, see Note 1 — Basis of Presentation . TIMBERLAND LEASES U.S. timberland leases typically have initial terms of approximately 30 to 65 years , with renewal provisions in some cases. New Zealand timberland lease terms typically range between 30 and 99 years . New Zealand lease arrangements generally consist of Crown Forest Licenses (“CFLs”), forestry rights and land leases. A CFL is a license arrangement to use government or privately owned land to operate a commercial forest. CFLs generally extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35 -year termination notice. If no termination notice is given, the CFLs renew automatically each year for a one -year term. Alternatively, some CFLs extend for a specific term. Once a CFL is terminated, the Company may be able to obtain a forestry right from the subsequent owner. A forestry right is a license arrangement with a private entity to use their lands to operate a commercial forest. Forestry rights terminate either upon the issuance of a termination notice (which can last 35 to 45 years ), completion of harvest, or a specified termination date. As of March 31, 2019 , the New Zealand subsidiary has two CFLs comprising 9,000 acres under termination notice that are currently being relinquished as harvest activities are concluding, as well as two fixed-term CFLs comprising 3,000 acres expiring in 2062. Additionally, the New Zealand subsidiary has two forestry rights comprising 33,000 acres under termination notice that are currently being relinquished as harvest activities are concluding. OTHER NON-TIMBERLAND LEASES In addition to our timberland holdings, we lease properties for certain office locations. Our significant leased properties include a regional office in Lufkin, Texas; our Pacific Northwest Timber office in Hoquiam, Washington and our New Zealand Timber and Trading headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand. LEASE MATURITIES, LEASE COST AND OTHER LEASE INFORMATION The following table details the Company’s undiscounted lease obligations as of March 31, 2019 by type of lease and year of expiration: Year of Expiration Lease obligations Total Remaining 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Thereafter Operating lease liabilities 198,899 8,623 10,071 9,217 8,321 8,285 154,382 Total Undiscounted Cash Flows 198,899 $8,623 $10,071 $9,217 $8,321 $8,285 $154,382 Imputed interest (93,224 ) Balance at March 31, 2019 105,675 Less: Current portion (10,666 ) Non-current portion at March 31, 2019 $95,009 The following table details components of the Company’s lease cost for the three months ended March 31, 2019 : Three Months Ended March 31, Lease Cost Components 2019 Operating lease cost 2,437 Variable lease cost (a) 76 Total lease cost (b) $2,513 (a) The majority of timberland leases are subject to increases or decreases based on either the Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index or market rates. (b) Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for these leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the lease term. Short-term lease expense was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION	SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on segment operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. Asset information is not reported by segment, as the Company does not produce asset information by segment internally. Operating income as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income. Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expenses) and income tax expense, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations and are included under “unallocated interest expense and other.” The following tables summarize the segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 : Three Months Ended SALES 2019 2018 Southern Timber $60,846 $43,588 Pacific Northwest Timber 20,535 31,374 New Zealand Timber 57,130 52,964 Real Estate 20,999 36,064 Trading 32,065 39,212 Intersegment Eliminations (29 ) (6 ) Total $191,546 $203,196 Three Months Ended OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) 2019 2018 Southern Timber $21,520 $12,227 Pacific Northwest Timber (3,741 ) 4,674 New Zealand Timber 15,720 15,957 Real Estate 10,027 28,054 Trading 480 149 Corporate and other (5,486 ) (3,987 ) Total Operating Income 38,520 57,074 Unallocated interest expense and other (6,378 ) (7,432 ) Total Income before Income Taxes $32,142 $49,642 Three Months Ended DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION 2019 2018 Southern Timber $19,727 $15,979 Pacific Northwest Timber 6,826 9,504 New Zealand Timber 6,319 5,717 Real Estate 3,335 3,066 Corporate and other 284 271 Total $36,491 $34,537 Three Months Ended NON-CASH COST OF LAND AND IMPROVED DEVELOPMENT 2019 2018 Real Estate 4,030 1,624 Total $4,030 $1,624

Real Estate [Abstract]
HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS	HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS Rayonier continuously assesses potential alternative uses of its timberlands, as some properties may become more valuable for development, residential, recreation or other purposes. The Company periodically transfers, via a sale or contribution from the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) entities to taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), higher and better use (“HBU”) timberlands to enable land-use entitlement, development or marketing activities. The Company also acquires HBU properties in connection with timberland acquisitions. These properties are managed as timberlands until sold or developed. While the majority of HBU sales involve rural and recreational land, the Company also selectively pursues various land-use entitlements on certain properties for residential, commercial and industrial development in order to enhance the long-term value of such properties. For selected development properties, Rayonier also invests in targeted infrastructure improvements, such as roadways and utilities, to accelerate the marketability and improve the value of such properties. An analysis of higher and better use timberlands and real estate development investments from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 is shown below: Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments Land and Timber Development Investments Total Non-current portion at December 31, 2018 $59,189 $26,420 $85,609 Plus: Current portion (a) 4,239 7,680 11,919 Total Balance at December 31, 2018 63,428 34,100 97,528 Non-cash cost of land and improved development (974 ) (233 ) (1,207 ) Timber depletion from harvesting activities and basis of timber sold in real estate sales (1,020 ) — (1,020 ) Capitalized real estate development investments (b) — 1,677 1,677 Capital expenditures (silviculture) 35 — 35 Intersegment transfers 16 — 16 Total Balance at March 31, 2019 61,485 35,544 97,029 Less: Current portion (a) (7,948 ) (12,794 ) (20,742 ) Non-current portion at March 31, 2019 $53,537 $22,750 $76,287 (a) The current portion of Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments is recorded in Inventory.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company is exposed to market risk related to potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the financial impact of exposure to these risks. Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records its derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for net investment hedge accounting are recorded as a component of AOCI and will not be reclassified into earnings until the Company’s investment in its New Zealand operations is partially or completely liquidated. The ineffective portion of any hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and those which are no longer effective as hedging instruments, are recognized immediately in earnings. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE AND OPTION CONTRACTS The functional currency of Rayonier’s wholly owned subsidiary, Rayonier New Zealand Limited, and the New Zealand subsidiary is the New Zealand dollar. The New Zealand subsidiary is exposed to foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments which are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. The New Zealand subsidiary typically hedges 35% to 90% of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following three months forecasted sales and purchases, 25% to 75% of forecasted sales and purchases for the forward three to 12 months and up to 50% of the forward 12 to 18 months . Foreign currency exposure from the New Zealand subsidiary’s trading operations is typically hedged based on the following three months forecasted sales and purchases. As of March 31, 2019 , foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts had maturity dates through July 2020 and February 2020, respectively. Foreign currency exchange and option contracts hedging foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company may de-designate these cash flow hedge relationships in advance or at the occurrence of the forecasted transaction. The portion of gains or losses on the derivative instrument previously accumulated in other comprehensive income for de-designated hedges remains in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Changes in the value of derivative instruments after de-designation are recorded in earnings. INTEREST RATE SWAPS The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on its variable-rate Term Credit Agreement and Incremental Term Loan Agreement and uses variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure. For these derivative instruments, the Company reports the gains/losses from the fluctuations in the fair market value of the hedges in AOCI and reclassifies them to earnings as interest expense in the same period in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The following table contains information on the outstanding interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2019 : Outstanding Interest Rate Swaps (a) Date Entered Into Term Notional Amount Related Debt Facility Fixed Rate of Swap Bank Margin on Debt Total Effective Interest Rate (b) August 2015 9 years $170,000 Term Credit Agreement 2.20 % 1.63 % 3.83 % August 2015 9 years 180,000 Term Credit Agreement 2.35 % 1.63 % 3.98 % April 2016 10 years 100,000 Incremental Term Loan 1.60 % 1.90 % 3.50 % April 2016 10 years 100,000 Incremental Term Loan 1.60 % 1.90 % 3.50 % July 2016 10 years 100,000 Incremental Term Loan 1.26 % 1.90 % 3.16 % (a) All interest rate swaps have been designated as interest rate cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. (b) Rate is before estimated patronage payments. CARBON OPTIONS The New Zealand subsidiary enters into carbon options from time to time to sell carbon assets at certain prices. The fair value of carbon options is determined by a mark-to-market valuation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate . For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the change in fair value of the carbon option contracts of $0.4 million , was recorded as a gain in “ Interest and other miscellaneous income, net ” as the contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As of March 31, 2019 , carbon option contracts had maturity dates through April 2020. The following tables demonstrate the impact, gross of tax, of the Company’s derivatives on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established in the Accounting Standards Codification as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under GAAP: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Asset (Liability) (a) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 1 Level 2 Cash and cash equivalents $154,613 $154,613 — $148,374 $148,374 — Restricted cash (b) 9,867 9,867 — 8,080 8,080 — Long-term debt (c) (972,707 ) — (976,073 ) (972,567 ) — (975,845 ) Interest rate swaps (d) 12,187 — 12,187 23,735 — 23,735 Foreign currency exchange contracts (d) (399 ) — (399 ) (1,442 ) — (1,442 ) Foreign currency option contracts (d) 223 — 223 145 — 145 Carbon option contracts (d) (15 ) — (15 ) (322 ) — (322 ) (a) The Company did not have Level 3 assets or liabilities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

See Note 18 — Restricted Cash for additional information. (c) The carrying amount of long-term debt is presented net of capitalized debt costs on non-revolving debt. See Note 6 — Debt for additional information. (d) See Note 13 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for information regarding the Consolidated Balance Sheets classification of the Company’s derivative financial instruments. Rayonier uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value. Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value. Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates. Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation, which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Carbon option contracts — The fair value of carbon option contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate

Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans Disclosures [Abstract]
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company has one qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering a portion of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plan. Both plans are closed to new participants. Effective December 31, 2016, the Company froze benefits for all employees participating in the pension plan. In lieu of the pension plan, the Company provides those employees with an enhanced 401(k) plan match. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has paid zero of the approximately $1.3 million in current year mandatory pension contribution requirements (based on actuarially determined estimates and IRS minimum funding requirements). The net pension and postretirement benefit (credit) costs that have been recorded are shown in the following table: Components of Net Periodic Benefit (Credit) Cost Income Statement Location Pension Postretirement Three Months Ended Three Months Ended 2019 2018 2019 2018 Service cost Selling and general expenses — — $1 $2 Interest cost Interest and other miscellaneous income, net 800 751 14 12 Expected return on plan assets (a) Interest and other miscellaneous income, net (777 ) (982 ) — — Amortization of losses Interest and other miscellaneous income, net 112 159 — 1 Net periodic benefit (credit) cost $135 ($72 ) $15 $15 (a) The weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in computing 2019 net periodic benefit cost for pension benefits is 5.7%

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Rayonier” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited financial statements not included herein. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect any adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018
Leases	ASU 2016-02 (ASC 842) The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , on January 1, 2019 and elected to apply the standard as of that day. As such, the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019 includes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to the rights and obligations created by the Company’s long-term leases. Prior periods have not been restated. The Company applied the following practical expedients in the transition to the new standard and allowed under ASC 842-10-65-1: Practical Expedient Description Reassessment of expired or existing contracts The Company elected not to reassess, at the application date, whether any expired or existing contracts contained leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and the accounting for initial direct costs for any existing leases. Use of hindsight The Company elected to use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of right-to-use assets. Reassessment of existing or expired land easements The Company elected not to evaluate existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840, as allowed under the transition practical expedient. Going forward, new or modified land easements will be evaluated under ASU No. 2016-02. See Note 3 — Leases
New Accounting Standards	SUMMARY OF UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES For information on updated significant accounting policies due to the adoption of ASC 842, see Note 3 — Leases . For a full description of our other significant accounting policies, see Note 1 — Basis of Presentation in the 2018 Form 10-K. RECENTLY ADOPTED STANDARDS ASU 2016-02 (ASC 842) The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , on January 1, 2019 and elected to apply the standard as of that day. As such, the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019 includes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to the rights and obligations created by the Company’s long-term leases. Prior periods have not been restated. The Company applied the following practical expedients in the transition to the new standard and allowed under ASC 842-10-65-1: Practical Expedient Description Reassessment of expired or existing contracts The Company elected not to reassess, at the application date, whether any expired or existing contracts contained leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and the accounting for initial direct costs for any existing leases.

Going forward, new or modified land easements will be evaluated under ASU No. 2016-02. See Note 3 — Leases for additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures required under ASU No. 2016-02. OTHER RECENTLY ADOPTED STANDARDS The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted ASU No 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 with no impact on the consolidated financial statements. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In the first quarter 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) did not issue any Accounting Standard Updates which are expected to have a material retrospective or future effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has evaluated events occurring from March 31, 2019
Revenue Recognition	PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS The Company recognizes revenues when control of promised goods or services (“performance obligations”) is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). The Company generally satisfies performance obligations within a year of entering into a contract and therefore has applied the disclosure exemption found under ASC 606-10-50-14. Unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2019 are primarily due to advances on stumpage contracts and unearned license revenue.These performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months. The Company generally collects payment within a year of satisfying performance obligations and therefore has elected not to adjust revenues for a financing component. CONTRACT BALANCES
Segment Reporting	Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on segment operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. Asset information is not reported by segment, as the Company does not produce asset information by segment internally.Operating income as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income. Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expenses) and income tax expense, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations and are included under “unallocated interest expense and other.”
Derivatives	Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging
Offsetting Derivatives	OFFSETTING DERIVATIVESDerivative financial instruments are presented at their gross fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are not subject to master netting arrangements, which would allow the right of offset.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.Rayonier uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value. Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value. Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates. Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation, which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Carbon option contracts — The fair value of carbon option contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate
Consolidation, Subsidiaries or Other Investments, Consolidated Entities	The condensed consolidating financial information below follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are eliminated upon consolidation, and the allocation of certain expenses of Rayonier Inc. incurred for the benefit of its subsidiaries.
