European
Union (EU) |
|
|
| |
|
The European Union began enforcement
of ISPM-15 March 1, 2005. The E.U. deferred for a year their debarking and
bark-free specifications (see dunnage exceptions below), but claim they
will present technical justification for the additional requirements and
begin enforcement March 2006. The E.U. has some variations that need to
be clarified: |
|
|
| |
|
Marking: Until December 31, 2007 the E.U. will accept
all previously recognized marks for heat treatment (HT, "no-bug" logo,
and ISPM-15 mark). For fumigation, however, they will only accept the
ISPM-15 mark; if you have wood packaging with the previous fumigation
mark, you must re-treat and re-mark.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Dunnage: If
dunnage is treated and marked it need not be bark-free. If dunnage is
not marked, it must be bark-free and devoid of pests and signs of live
pests.
