New rules for shipping to Canada

摘要

A new proposalfrom the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) would remove the exemption from ISPM 15 on wood packaging material moving between Canada and the United States in both directions beginning in 2011. If adopted, the proposal will have a significant impact on shipments on pallets. While business regulation is out of favor on Capitol Hill, this is one new regulation supported by the National Wooden Pallet & Container Association .
