Not all wood packaging is treated the same.
From 1 September 2026, the EU is introducing new declaration requirements for qualifying raw wood packaging material accompanying imports.
If your shipments use wooden pallets, crates, dunnage or other solid wood packaging, understanding whether the material falls within the requirements is important.
๐น 6mm or less? Generally exempt.
๐น Over 6mm solid wood? Check whether ISPM 15 requirements apply.
A small detail in your packaging can lead to additional checks, documentation requirements or delays at the border if it isnโt correctly identified.
For importers, freight forwarders, hauliers and customs agents, checking your wood packaging before the shipment moves can help you stay prepared and avoid unnecessary disruption.
