WPM Separations
As an authorized CBP Examinations site we’re also able to separate unauthorized, untreated wood entering the country from your freight and package it for the return to its country of origin. This means that neither you or your customer will need to pay double the handling and double the transportation costs if your examined shipment needs to have its dunnage returned overseas, saving you time and money.
ISPM 15 Compliance for Wood Packing Material

To protect against harmful pests like these, APHIS has adopted ISPM 15, an international standard with best practices for preventing the spread of harmful pests in wood packaging used in international trade. If you don’t follow these practices, you risk having your shipment delayed or re-exported. We work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection agricultural specialists to enforce these regulations at U.S. ports of entry…
