Wooden Pallet is a device to carry loosed cargo goods and pack into palletized cargo, for easier and faster handling process.
If the wooden pallet is going to ship out to oversea by sea freight or air freight, it require comply ISPM 15, which is fumigation or heat treatment process apply on the wooden pallet before export.
So, exporter need fumigated wooden pallet for exporting their cargo.
The fumigator will put IPPC stamping on each wooden pallet after fumigation done and certificate will be provided for exporter.
The fumigator will put IPPC stamping on each wooden pallet after fumigation done and certificate will be provided for exporter.
fumigation can apply on new wooden pallet and used wooden pallet, second hand wooden pallet and recycled wooden pallet.

What is Fumigation?
Fumigation is a method of killing pests, termites or any other harmful living organisms to prevent transfer of exotic organisms.
Fumigation is executed, by suffocating or poisoning pest, within an area of specified space by using fumigants.
Normally,
fumigation is done for wood material used for packing of goods to be
exported. In some cases, empty container before stuffing of cargo is
fumigated.
Most of the cases, fumigation is done
after completion of stuffing of cargo and closing the door of container.
The result of such fumigation is more effective, as the gases used for
fumigation circulates all spaces in the container without spreading gas
outside, as the container is closed.
However, this
method of fumigation is not allowed for the cargo for certain food
products for direct consumption and other specified goods.
Methyl
Bromide is commonly and widely used as fumigants for fumigation all
over world. Other widely used fumigants are Chloropicrin, Phosphate,
Dichloropropene, Methyl isocynate, hydrogen cyanide, sulfuryl fluoride,
formaldehyde etc.
International Standards For Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15)
is an International Phytosanitary Measure developed by the
International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) that directly addresses
the need to treat wood materials of a thickness greater than 6mm, used
to ship products between countries.
Its main purpose
is to prevent the international transport and spread of disease and
insects that could negatively affect plants or ecosystems. ISPM 15
affects all wood packaging material (pallets, crates, dunnages, etc.)
requiring that they be debarked and then heat treated or fumigated with
methyl bromide and stamped or branded, with a mark of compliance.
This
mark of compliance is colloquially known as the “wheat stamp”. Products
exempt from the ISPM 15 are made from an alternative material, like
paper, plastic or wood panel products (i.e. OSB, hardboard, and
plywood).
