What IPPC ISPM 15: Regulation of Wood Packaging Material in International Trade requires
IPPC ISPM 15 prescribes the phytosanitary treatment and marking of wood packaging material (pallets, crates, dunnage, cable drums, spools) used in international trade to prevent the global spread of wood-borne quarantine pests such as Asian longhorn beetle, emerald ash borer, pinewood nematode, and bark beetles. The standard requires that wood packaging be debarked and treated by either heat treatment (HT: minimum 56°C core temperature for 30 continuous minutes), kiln drying with heat treatment (KD-HT), dielectric heating (DH), methyl bromide fumigation (MB: 48g/m³ at 21°C for 24 hours), or sulfuryl fluoride fumigation. Treated material must bear the ISPM 15 mark including IPPC logo, ISO country code, NPPO-assigned producer/treater code, and treatment code (HT, KD-HT, DH, MB, SF). Non-compliant wood packaging is refused entry, fumigated at port, or destroyed at importer expense.
