According to recent investigations, some companies that use wooden packaging boxes fail to thoroughly research the foreign phytosanitary and disposal requirements for wooden crates. As a result, they are lucky enough to send their products abroad without facing immediate issues. However, this type of wooden packaging is among the most commonly targeted by foreign countries due to its potential risk of spreading pests. For example, a company in Zhangjiagang overlooked Bulgaria’s inclusion in the EU in 2008 and assumed that the consignee did not require fumigation. This led to cost-saving measures, but ultimately caused non-compliance with the importing country's regulations. The quarantine authority, BGR1, found the shipment to be in violation, and the only option was to destroy the goods.
The Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has issued a warning to businesses: currently, all major trading countries and regions have adopted international standards for wooden packaging and have established their own phytosanitary rules. Therefore, when engaging in foreign trade, companies must not overlook the phytosanitary regulations of the importing country. Before exporting wooden crates, proper quarantine treatment must be carried out, and the IPPC mark should be clearly applied. It is also recommended that wooden packaging be inspected and treated by the local inspection and quarantine authorities as early as possible. Additionally, companies should closely monitor customs clearance and other post-export procedures to ensure smooth operations and avoid unnecessary delays or losses.
Xiao Bian believes that if more companies focus not only on the quality of their packaging but also on compliance with international standards, their business development will be more sustainable and successful.
