Export Packaging Update: US Canada Exemption May End Soon

The bilateral agreement between the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) exempting wood packaging materials (WPM) moving between the countries from ISPM 15 enforcement may be coming to an end.  The ruling is currently under comment.  The US is recommending full phase in by the middle of 2012.

Reasoning for ISPM 15 enforcement is to mitigate the introduction or reintroduction of indigenous and non-indigenous forest pests associated with the movement of wood packaging material from Canada into the United States.
