Modern Materials Handling (MMH) talks with NWPCA President Bruce Scholnick about Canada's ISPM-15 enforcement plan with the United States.'Read Interview' Implementation of ISPM 15 (2009) for Wood Packaging Moving Between Canada and the United States |

OTTAWA, February 14, 2011 : The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the United States Department of Agri-culture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) are moving forward to remove the current exemption for wood packaging being shipped between the two countries, as outlined in the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) No. 15. This action is necessary to prevent the introduction of new forest pests, as well as slow the spread of forest pests already established in North America. |
Although the full implementation timelines have not been finalized, it is expected that the Canadian policies and the United States final rule will be published in the spring of 2011, at which time both countries will commence a period of "informed compliance", during which wood packaging material foundnon-compliant will be permitted to proceed to destination provided no pests are present. However, the carrier will be notified that shipments will be required to comply with ISPM No. 15 once full implementation occurs. If pests are detected, the countries will enforce actions such as requiring treatment of the shipment, or refusing the shipment to enter the country. | ||
