Entry Requirements for Wood Packaging Materials Produced in All Areas Other Than the Continental United States
When shipping goods that are manufactured, packaged or containing wood products to Canada the following is required:
- 1) Canadian law requires that ALL non-manufactured wood imported to Canada be treated in accordance with ISPM #15 regulations. The wood must be marked with the IPPC symbol for treated wood packaging materials or be accompanied by a Phytosanitary Certificate.
- 2) FAILURE to comply with these regulations will result in penalties and extra charges which will be billed to your account. It may also result in rejection of the toolbox or other material from being allowed to enter Canada.
FAQ
When working with NALSI or other service provider and prior to shipping my goods, why are they asking me to make a declaration re cargo insurance?
Cargo insurance MUST be accepted or declined by the shipper prior to the cargo moving in order to protect yourself from possible loss, shortage or damage. This coverage must be placed before the cargo begins to move to be binding.
If I am shipping my materials and display items to or from Global Skills Village, what do I need to do?
