What is Fumigated Wooden Pallet?

Fumigation is a method of killing pests, termites or any other harmful living organisms to prevent transfer of exotic organisms.

Fumigation is executed, by suffocating or poisoning pest, within an area of specified space by using fumigants.

Normally, fumigation is done for wood material used for packing of goods to be exported. In some cases, empty container before stuffing of cargo is fumigated.

Most of the cases, fumigation is done after completion of stuffing of cargo and closing the door of container. The result of such fumigation is more effective, as the gases used for fumigation circulates all spaces in the container without spreading gas outside, as the container is closed.

However, this method of fumigation is not allowed for the cargo for certain food products for direct consumption and other specified goods.

Methyl Bromide is commonly and widely used as fumigants for fumigation all over world to make fumigated wooden pallet. Other widely used fumigants are Chloropicrin, Phosphate, Dichloropropene, Methyl isocynate, hydrogen cyanide, sulfuryl fluoride, formaldehyde etc.

International Standards For Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15) is an International Phytosanitary Measure developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) that directly addresses the need to treat wood materials of a thickness greater than 6mm, used to ship products between countries.

Its main purpose is to prevent the international transport and spread of disease and insects that could negatively affect plants or ecosystems. ISPM 15 affects all wood packaging material (pallets, crates, dunnages, etc.) requiring that they be debarked and then heat treated or fumigated with methyl bromide and stamped or branded, with a mark of compliance.
