What is the IPPC logo?

  Simply put, IPPC is an international convention, and the application of IPPC logo on wooden packaging means that it has been treated according to regulations and is qualified, and does not carry harmful organisms. Just like the following:

  In the logo, the symbol for IPPC is on the left, CN on the right represents China, and 31016 is the company code that added the logo. HT represents the use of heat treatment for pest control, while MB represents methyl bromide fumigation treatment.

  ▍Which packaging needs to be labeled with IPPC?

  Some production processes for wooden packaging have reached the conditions for pest control treatment, and there is no longer a need for specialized pest control treatment. For example, wooden boxes and wooden pallets made of plywood, particle board, fiberboard and other man-made boards. Or all of them are made of thin sheets (including shavings, sawdust, etc.) with a thickness of less than 6mm, or wooden packaging that has been processed during the production process, such as wine barrels, wooden gift boxes, etc.

  In addition to the above, all wooden packaging containing solid wood components must undergo pest control treatment in accordance with regulations and be labeled with standardized IPPC markings, such as the following wooden packaging:

  Entry and exit enterprises should accurately define the scope of wooden packaging, and at the same time, focus on the relevant regulations of wooden packaging in the destination country, and implement corresponding treatment according to the requirements to avoid losses.

  ▍What are the customs requirements for outbound wooden packaging?

  The customs conducts spot checks and quarantine on the wooden packaging used for outbound goods. If it is found that it does not comply with regulations, it is not allowed to leave the country.

  How to add IPPC logo to wooden packaging of outbound goods?

  Only enterprises that have obtained customs permission to apply IPPC markings to wooden packaging of outbound goods can produce and apply IPPC markings to wooden packaging of outbound goods. As of now, enterprises in China that have obtained the qualification for labeling have been announced on the official website of the General Administration of Customs.

  (Those who forge, alter, or embezzle labels shall be punished in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Entry and Exit Animal and Plant Quarantine and its implementation regulations.)

  Enterprises using wooden packaging can purchase wooden packaging from qualified labeling and application enterprises, and require the labeling and application enterprises to provide qualified certificates for the disinfection and treatment of wooden packaging for outbound goods.

  If the packaging of exported goods is natural wood packaging, IPPC should be labeled according to the destination country of export. For example, if the packaging of goods exported to some countries such as the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, etc. is needle leaved wood packaging, fumigation must be done.

  For fumigation, it is now standardized. The fumigation team fumigates the containers based on the box number, which means that after the goods arrive at the site, a professional fumigation team marks the packaging with IPPC logo. (customs broker) Fill in the fumigation contact list, which shows the customer's name, country, box number, and medication used → (fumigation team) label (about half a day) → fumigation (24 hours) → bulk medication (4 hours).

  Fumigation and disinfection treatment institutions need to carefully apply IPPC markings. Solid wood packaging that has passed fumigation and other disinfection treatments must be labeled with IPPC, which should be clear and easy to inspect during foreign customs clearance. At the same time, it is necessary to check the application of the fumigation and disinfection qualified wooden packaging outbound label to avoid unnecessary damage to the enterprise caused by missing labels. As a user enterprise, it is also necessary to carefully check whether the wooden packaging has corresponding markings when packaging. If not, immediately contact the fumigation and pest control treatment agency.

  Export enterprises using wooden packaging must conscientiously carry out the disinfection and treatment of wooden packaging. The cost of pest control treatment for wooden packaging is relatively low, and it is important not to encounter high risks and losses of return transportation in order to save a little fumigation and pest control costs.
