Wood Packing Restrictions

SOUTH AFRICA


Effective June 1, 2005 IPPC standards will be implemented.

Updated February 16, 2005 South Africa has notified the WTO of their intent to adopt measures in line with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM15).

Additionally, we recommend stating the following on your commercial invoice and bill of lading: All packaging is ISPM15 compliant and is free of bark & dirt.

APPROVED / ISPM15 COMPLIANT PACKAGING:
- cardboard, plastic pallets, plastic containers, plastic crates
- manufactured wood products that have been created using glue, heat and pressure or a combination thereof (examples: plywood, particle board, press-wood, etc.)
- any wood crate, pallet or skid that has the appropriate ISPM15 stamp.

NOT APPROVED:
- all wood packaging that has not been heat treated or fumigated (not ISPM15 compliant)
- all wood packaging that does not have the ISPM15 stamp.
