Wood Packing Restrictions - ISM15 Rules (as a guide only)
New regulations have now been implemented with regards to prevent the spread of plant pests and diseases throughout the world when shipping cargo using wood packing materials (including dunnage). These regulations have been originated from the International Plant Protection Convention and known worldwide as ISPM 15 rules. ISPM 15 rules international shipments containing wood packaging material such as pallets, crates, dunnages, drums, wood cases etc.
ISPM 15 requires that all shipments using any species of raw wood packaging must be fumigated or heat treated to kill insects or fungus and stamped with the approved stamp, before goods are allowed entry or crossing through a participating country.
