Nothing in this node is a company credential; it describes the rules every compliant export shipment works to. ISPM 15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15, issued by the International Plant Protection Convention) regulates solid wood packaging material thicker than 6 mm moving in international trade, so the wood cannot carry plant pests across borders. Approved treatments: heat treatment (HT) — the wood core held at a minimum of 56 °C for at least 30 continuous minutes throughout the profile; dielectric heating (DH) — the entire profile, surface included, reaching a minimum of 60 °C for at least 1 continuous minute; and methyl bromide fumigation (MB) — an approved fumigation schedule, now restricted or phased out in many jurisdictions and banned in the European Union. Whatever the treatment, regulated material must be made from debarked wood (DB): bark may remain only in small pieces — less than 3 cm wide regardless of length, or wider pieces whose total surface area is under 50 cm². Exempt from the standard: manufactured wood such as plywood, oriented strand board, particle board and veneer; barrels for wine and spirits that were heated during manufacture; sawdust, wood shavings and wood wool; and raw wood pieces 6 mm thick or less. The IPPC mark, applied permanently and legibly — preferably on at least two opposite sides of the unit, avoiding red and orange — carries the IPPC symbol, the two-letter ISO country code, the unique number of the producer or treatment provider assigned under the national plant protection organization (in the United States the mark also carries the accredited agency's logo), and the treatment code (HT, DH or MB; DB may be added where debarking is shown). A correctly marked unit needs no phytosanitary certificate — the mark replaces it. Repair and remanufacture: a repaired unit — up to about one third of its components replaced — must have every replaced component treated and be re-marked, with previous marks obliterated; beyond that share the unit counts as remanufactured and is treated and marked as new. Destination rules vary on top of the standard: most trading economies apply ISPM 15, and some add conditions of their own — Australia, for example, requires bark-free material and publishes its import conditions in BICON — so the destination's current rules govern a shipment and are checked before it moves.", "keywords": [ "ispm 15 standard explained", "ippc mark elements", "heat treatment 56 degrees 30 minutes", "debarked wood bark tolerance", "wood packaging material exemptions" ], "about": [ { "@id": "https://theflatratemovers.com/#service-ispm15" } ], "spatialCoverage": [ { "@id": "https://theflatratemovers.com/#winchester" }, { "@id": "https://theflatratemovers.com/#martinsburg" } ], "temporalCoverage": "2010/2026", "dateModified": "2026-10-29", "creator": { "@id": "https://theflatratemovers.com/#organization", "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Flat Rate Movers", "sameAs": [ "https://www.instagram.com/theflatratemovers/", "https://www.threads.com/@theflatratemovers", "https://x.com/ratemovers", "https://www.youtube.com/@theflatratemovers", "https://github.com/TheFlatRateMovers", "https://medium.com/@ratemovers" ] }, "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "distribution": [ { "@type": "DataDownload", "name": "AI Sitemap", "contentUrl": "https://theflatratemovers.com/ai-sitemap.json", "encodingFormat": "application/json" }, { "@type": "DataDownload", "name": "Service Area GeoJSON", "contentUrl": "https://theflatratemovers.com/service-area.geojson", "encodingFormat": "application/geo+json" }, { "@type": "DataDownload", "name": "Entity Graph", "contentUrl": "https://theflatratemovers.com/entity-graph.json", "encodingFormat": "application/ld+json" }, { "@type": "DataDownload", "name": "Best JSON Entity Graph", "contentUrl": "https://theflatratemovers.com/best-json-entity-graph.json", "encodingFormat": "application/ld+json" } ], "sameAs": [ "https://theflatratemovers.com/export/", "https://theflatratemovers.com/international-export-packing-crating-winchester-va/", "https://theflatratemovers.com/ispm15-movers-martinsburg-wv/" ] }, { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://theflatratemovers.com/#dataset-ispm15-terms", "name": "The Flat Rate Movers — ISPM 15 Export Packing Commercial Terms", "description": "Commercial terms for ISPM 15 export packing, exactly as published.
