New Import requirements for wood and wood packaging material (including dunnage) entering the European Community – ISPM15

On the 1st March 2005 new measures were enforced by the European Community and its member states for wood packaging material (coniferous and non-coniferous raw wood) used for the import of objects of all kinds from all countries, with the exception of Switzerland.  In particular the relevant provisions of the Plant Health Directive 200/89/EC on wood packaging material were aligned with provisions of the FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (SPM15) on Guidelines for regulating wood packaging material in international trade.  ISPM15 was adopted in 2002 and an increasing number of countries are putting in place import requirements in line with this phytosanitary standard.   The measures of the European Community are to practically eliminate the risk for most quarantine pests such as Asian Longhorn Beetle and Pine Wood Nematode and significantly reduce the risk from a number of other pests that may be associated with that material.
