Methyl bromide fumigation is a process of using the chemical methyl bromide as a fumigant to control pests and protect products during storage and transport. Methyl bromide is a colorless, odorless gas that is highly toxic to insects, bacteria, fungi, and other pests.
The fumigation process involves sealing a product or a container and exposing it to methyl bromide gas to kill any pests that may be present. This is typically done prior to shipping or exporting the product to prevent the spread of pests to other countries.
Methyl bromide fumigation is commonly used to protect a variety of products, including grains, fruits, vegetables, wood products, and processed food items.
An ISPM-15 fumigation certificate is a certificate that confirms that wood packaging materials (such as crates, pallets, or dunnage) have been treated according to the international standards set forth by the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM-15). These standards were established to prevent the spread of harmful pests through the movement of wood packaging materials across international borders.
Note: It is important to ensure that all wood packaging materials are treated in accordance with ISPM-15 standards to avoid any delays or additional fees during the import process.
