What is fumigation certificate?
A fumigation certificate is an official document issued by a government-approved fumigation company in accordance with the standard ISPM-15 and NSPM-12 for export shipments or control pest infestation. Which is sometimes referred to as an insect infestation certificate, and is a document certifying that the wooden packing material (such as pallets) used in a cargo shipment was tarnished. They provide information such as the purpose of the treatment, the fumigants involved, and the temperature range.
Why Fumigation Certificate Required?
This basically informs the customs and importer that the cargo has been treated with all appropriate fumigants and is pest-free. When you ship goods, especially by sea, they are sealed inside the container for weeks if not months. Before reaching its destination, cargo is subjected to a number of temperature and humidity variations. These conditions result in insect infestation, particularly in wood products.
When fumigation certificate required?
All the timber products were fumigated before being shipped internationally. Pallets, furniture, and other wooden items fall under this category. Wood materials, such as cardboard, particleboard, and other man-made wood derivatives, do not require it. Treatment purposes, fumigants used, the amount of time they were utilized for, and a temperature range throughout. The fumigation process must all be included in a fumigation certification.
Some shippers prefer to utilize plastic packaging materials instead of wood to eliminate the requirement for fumigation.
