Hi all,

I am really trying to find out as much as I can about fumigation on wooden curios. When shipping wooden products like animals etc out do you need to do fumigation? Does it need to be ISMP15 compliant? We have tried to find as much information as possible and it really seems scattered. I know the ISPM15 is for wooden packaging, but must it be applicable to wooden products as well?
For example how thick must the wood be before it needs to be fumigated?
Also how long is a certificate available? The company we want to use says only a month, that could be a problem for as, as shipping can take long.
It is also very expensive as we cannot do heat treatment as it damages the paint on some of the items.

I do have a lot of questions and any help will be greatly appreciated, even if it points me in the right direction.

Kind Regards,
Michael
