Wooden packaging refers to wooden materials used for carrying, packaging, padding, supporting, and reinforcing goods, such as wooden crates, wooden boxes, wooden pallets, wooden frames, wooden barrels, wooden axles, wooden wedges, dunnage, sleepers, and linings. It is one of the most widely used packaging materials in international trade. For imported goods using wooden packaging, the owner or their agent must declare it to customs. Before export, companies using wooden packaging should entrust a labeling company to conduct quarantine treatment or purchase pre-treated wooden packaging from them.
According to the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), qualified wooden packaging must bear the IPPC mark, indicating that it has undergone pest control treatment as required and does not carry harmful organisms. Wooden boxes and pallets made entirely of plywood, particleboard, fiberboard, and other engineered wood products may have already met the pest control treatment requirements and do not require special treatment; however, all wooden packaging containing solid wood components must undergo pest control treatment and bear the standardized IPPC mark.
