Documents that may be requested: ・IPPC mark on wood packaging (heat treatment HT or methyl bromide fumigation MB) ・Packing list noting the treatment method of wood packaging; plywood and plastic pallets are exempt
What you should do now: 1. Purchase treated and marked wood pallets and boxes from suppliers approved by the competent authority. 2. Before shipment, verify the mark is clear and legible—unclear or missing marks may result in the importer being required to return or destroy the packaging upon arrival in the EU. 3. Note the packaging type and wood treatment method on the packing list. 4. If possible, switch to plywood boxes, plastic pallets, or paper pallets to eliminate this requirement entirely.
