ISPM 15 certified wood treatment in Kenya

What is ISPM 15 and Why Does It Matter?

ISPM 15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15), established by the FAO, prevents the spread of invasive pests via wooden packaging materials used in international trade. Non-compliance can lead to shipment rejection, delays, or destruction at customs in countries like the USA, EU, and Asia.

To comply, wooden packaging must be treated and stamped with an HT (Heat Treated) or MB (Methyl Bromide) mark, accompanied by an ISPM 15 certificate. Polucon ensures your packaging meets these standards efficiently.
