Wood Packaging Material Regulations for Exports to USA & Canada

We would like to remind customers that from 5th July 2006 US Customs have been ordering any goods or wood packaging materials that do not comply with the Wood Packaging Material Regulations introduced in 2005 to be immediately returned to the country from where they were shipped. The measures require that wood packing material be heat-treated or fumigated, then stamped with an identification code.

Further information may be found at the US Customs & Border Patrol website.
