Export Packaging that conform to IPPC/ISPM 15 Regulations Print page ISPM 15 regulations are in effect for international shipping. Is the packaging you use compliant? Nefab’s packaging materials ensure you are. The importance of the new phytosanitary regulations Due to the growth of global trade, there has been an increasing concern about the possible introduction of damaging plant pests and pathogens to agriculture and forest resources. Untreated wood packaging material (WPM) is typically the means used by these unwelcome pests to move between continents. To limit these risks, a new international phytosanitary standard (ISPM 15) has been established. ISPM 15 requires that solid wood packing material (SWPM) such as pallets, crates, boxes and dunnage are treated prior to international shipping. Nefab’s global presence and packaging expertise ensures compliant packaging materials Nefab North America is among the first packaging manufacturers to receive official certification, as outlined by the World Trade Organization’s International Plant Protection Agency (IPPC). This certification recognizes our compliance to these wood packaging regulations.
