Indian Regulations on Wooden Frames in the Context of International Trade
In India, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) play important roles in regulating wooden frames used in international trade.
For raw wood frames, they are required to be treated to prevent the spread of pests. Fumigation with approved chemicals is a common treatment method. However, there is also an increasing emphasis on using more environmentally friendly methods such as heat treatment. Once treated, the raw wood frames should be marked to indicate compliance with Indian and international phytosanitary regulations.
When it comes to 三合木架 (plywood frames), plywood used in packaging and shipping must meet certain quality standards. India has regulations regarding the thickness, strength, and moisture content of plywood. Plywood frames are popular in the Indian export industry, especially for products like handicrafts and textiles. But they need to comply with the regulations of the importing countries as well as Indian domestic regulations.
For 熏蒸木架 (fumigated wood frames), the fumigation process must be carried out in accordance with Indian and international standards. The fumigant used should be approved, and detailed documentation about the fumigation, including the type of fumigant, the treatment duration, and the date of fumigation, must be provided. This helps in ensuring that the fumigated frames do not pose a risk of introducing pests to the importing countries.
