What shippers should confirm when wood packaging may cross an international border. Use the sections below as a working checklist, then put the actual load and site details into the RFQ.
When wood packaging rules may apply
International wood packaging requirements depend on the shipment and destination. Confirm whether the packaging falls within applicable rules before shipping.
Treatment and official marks
Where treatment is required, use appropriately treated material with valid, legible official marks from an authorized provider. A handwritten note is not a substitute.
Repairs and mark integrity
Repairs can affect compliance and mark integrity. Do not assume a previously marked pallet remains acceptable after components are changed.
Destination-specific verification
Import requirements can vary and change. Verify the destination’s current rules with the responsible authority, customs professional, or qualified packaging provider.
Specifications, regulations, safety rules, and customer requirements can change. Verify technical and regulatory decisions with the relevant authority or qualified professional.
