Fumigation + Packaging
Fumigation (IPPC) mandatory	✓
- Fumigation specials	Any solid wood packaging must bear valid IPPC stamps. IPPC stamps must be placed well visible on the wood and may not be covered by e.g. foil. Weathered, incomplete or badly visible stamps will not be accepted by the US authorities. Any solid wooden elements which are loose or only fixed with e.g. straps must bear IPPC stamps. Wood elements that are not glued, screwed or nailed are considered as loose. If wood packaging consists of solid wood packing and plywood, the IPPC stamp must be necessarily placed on the solid wood elements. Untreated or incorrectly marked wood packaging: Will be sent back to origin and can be subject to fines. Additionally please note that it generally makes sense to mark solid wood packaging with more than one IPPC stamp.
