Wood Packaging

Wood packaging requirements: 
The definition "wood packaging" is any piece of non-manufactured wood used to brace, support, protect or secure a consignment or cargo.  Wood packaging products include, but are not limited to dunnage, crating, wood boxes, load boards, pallets, wooden wire drums and skids. Any shipments to SAF-HOLLAND facilities are regulated by the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measure No. 15 (ISPM 15) and must be properly treated and marked in accordance with the ISPM15 standard and documented on all documents associated to that shipment. All suppliers to SAF-HOLLAND are required to be familiar with ISPM15 and their responsibility. Failure to comply makes the supplier responsible for all costs resulting when any materials are impounded by US Customs (CBP), Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), or any other nation’s associated agency for non-compliance to ISPM15.
