Compliance
Shipping overseas comes with its own challenges. Taiko Pack builds export-ready wooden packaging that keeps your products secure, handles tough transit conditions, and meets ISPM 15 requirements for smoother international shipments.
Compliant Wood Packaging for International Shipments
International shipments require packaging that meets both performance and regulatory requirements. ISPM 15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15) is an internationally recognised standard established to prevent the global spread of pests and plant diseases through solid wood packaging materials.
At Taiko Pack, we provide professionally manufactured and appropriately treated wooden packaging solutions for export shipments, helping businesses meet applicable ISPM 15 requirements while ensuring their products remain protected throughout transit.
What Is ISPM 15?
ISPM 15 is an international phytosanitary standard applicable to solid wood packaging materials used in international trade. It covers packaging such as wooden pallets, crates, boxes, skids, and dunnage.
The standard is designed to reduce the risk of wood packaging becoming a pathway for the movement of invasive pests and plant diseases across international borders.
Key ISPM 15 Requirements:
Applicable wood packaging must undergo an approved treatment process before being used for international shipments.
Heat Treatment
Wood packaging is subjected to an approved heat-treatment process designed to eliminate pests and other harmful organisms present in the timber.
ISPM 15 Marking
Following approved treatment, compliant wood packaging is marked with the internationally recognised *IPPC/ISPM 15 mark*. This mark identifies the packaging as having undergone the required phytosanitary treatment.
Why ISPM 15 Compliance Is Important
Meet applicable international phytosanitary requirements
Reduce the risk of shipment delays and border complications
Minimise the risk of pest and disease transmission
Support smoother customs and import clearance
Protect forests, agriculture, and natural ecosystems
Ensure packaging is suitable for international transportation
Using properly treated and marked wood packaging is particularly important when shipping products to countries that enforce ISPM 15 requirements.
