By selecting a destination country above, you will begin calculating international shipping costs for cargo deliveries from the United States.
Generally, ISPM 15 implements wood-packing restrictions that prohibit the international shipping of raw wooden materials.
When shipping goods from the United States abroad, items packed in cardboard boxes must comply with ISPM 15 regulations. However:
Please note that these wood-packing regulations apply only to the packing materials; they do not apply to the transporting commodity.
Do not confuse the restrictions on wood packing, which apply to international cargo transportation from the USA to most countries worldwide, with the fumigation requirements for goods that are going from the USA to Oceania, particularly to Australia and New Zealand.
All freight transported from the USA to Oceania must be fumigated. These restrictions are known as BMSB rules. If you ship goods to Australia or New Zealand, be prepared to fumigate the entire shipment. We suggest allowing the ocean freight carrier used for your international freight to fumigate your cargo. Typically, you will pay $30 per cubic meter, with a minimum charge of $100 to $300, depending on the carrier. However, this way, you transfer responsibilities related to the freight fumigation to the carrier.
Announcement: Shipping freight to Australia or New Zealand.
Your cargo must be fumigated if you're shipping goods from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, or any country in Oceania between September 1 and April 30. This period is known as the BMSB season (Brown Marmorated Stink Bug), during which strict regulations are enforced.
What You Need to Do:
Before your load is shipped, you must complete and return a Fumigation Declaration. We will send you this document in PDF format along with your shipping instructions.
Please complete, sign, and return it to us via email before your cargo is delivered to the freight terminal.
If we don’t receive your declaration, your cargo will be held. Storage charges will apply, and these costs are your responsibility.
If your load is going to arrive in Australia or New Zealand during the BMSB season, and:
IF YOU DON’T SUBMIT A FUMIGATION DECLARATION, AND YOU DON’T PROVIDE A VALID FUMIGATION CERTIFICATE, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP YOUR CARGO.
You may find more information about wood-packing restrictions on our website.
