Since March of 2002, the IPPC or International Plant Protection Committee has set guidelines for regulating wood packaging material in international trade.  The ISPM-15 Standard applies to both softwood (coniferous) and hardwood (non-coniferous) packaging.  Both types of wood must be heat treated to 56 degrees C for thirty minutes.

The ISPM-15 Standard is ever-changing and can be quite confusing. Call us today for the current list of countries requiring ISPM-15 and to learn how you will be affected.
