Suggestions
Methyl bromide fumigation treatment
Regarding to the reused WPM
Dunnage
The consistency of application
CH3Br Fumigation Treatment
Methyl bromide fumigation Schedule in ISPM no.15 was demonstrated to be unable to kill all pine wood nematode in WPMs
AQSIQ suggest new schedule
AQSIQ has submitted it to IPPC
Regarding to the reused WPM
Can the treated and marked WPMs be reused?
If the answer is “yes”, when the commodities and marked wood packaging materials do not come from the same country but live pests are intercepted in the WPMs at import port, then which country should be notified, the commodity export country or WPMs original country?
Regarding to the reused WPM
If the answer is “no”, but the mark on the WPMs is permanent, how to confirm the WPMs are not reused?
suggestion : The commodity and WPMs should come from the same country or area.
The definition of dunnage
The dunnage in ISPM no.15 is included in the definition of wood packing material. But the regulated requirements differs from the normally understanding WPMs. So, we suggest the definition of dunnage be further clarified.
the Consistency of Application
In some countries, the measures to non-compliance are only refused entry. it is stricter than the request of ISPM no.15.
Some countries request that the entry wood packing material should be bark free. it clearly exceeds the necessary protective level.
