由 lltx1822 Canada’s Approach to Wooden Frame Regulations
Canada, similar to its southern neighbor, has strict regulations in place to safeguard its agricultural and forestry sectors from potential pest introductions via wooden frames. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is responsible for enforcing these regulations.
For 原木架 (raw wood frames), any wood packaging material used in international trade must meet the requirements of ISPM 15. This means that raw wood frames need to be either fumigated or heat treated. Fumigation typically involves using chemicals like methyl bromide to kill pests present in the wood. Heat treatment, on the other hand, heats the wood to a specific temperature for a set period to eliminate any potential pests.
In the case of 三合木架 (plywood frames), they are generally more leniently regulated. Plywood, being a composite material made by gluing together multiple layers of wood veneer, is less likely to carry pests compared to raw wood. As long as the plywood is made from properly sourced and processed wood veneer, it can be used in packaging and shipping without undergoing the same intensive treatments as raw wood frames. However, it’s important to note that if the plywood shows signs of pest infestation or does not meet certain quality standards, it may still be subject to further inspection or rejection.
When it comes to 熏蒸木架 (fumigated wood frames), they must be accompanied by proper documentation. The fumigation certificate should clearly state the details of the treatment, including the type of fumigant used, the duration of the treatment, and the date of fumigation. This documentation is crucial for customs clearance and ensures that the frames have been treated in accordance with Canadian regulations.
