By Las Vegas Crating and Logistics | Specialty Shipping Blog | 0 comment | 29 April, 2020 | 1

What is ISPM-15 Heat Treated Wood Stamp Shipping

International Standards for Phytosanitary measures No. 15 according to Wikipedia on ISPM-15  is a standard and measure that was developed by the (IPPC) International Plant Protection Convention to directly address the concern and need to treat wood materials that ship between countries.

Approved phytosanitary measures significantly reduce the risk of pest spread and introduction through wood packaging material. Having the ISPM-15 mark or “wheat-stamp” ensures that all contents have been subjected to heat treatments for safe transportation and shipping.
