US FINAL RULING - PACKAGING
MATERIALS
Please
be advised that the final ruling on Wood
packing was published in September of
this year and takes effect one year on - 16
September 2005 - From that date on, all wood
packing material associated with cargo or imported into
the United States must be treated and marked according
to international standards and this ruling.
Additionally,
it is expected that formal statements
will be required on transit paperwork ( export invoices / Bill
of lading / air-waybill) to the effect that the shipment complies
or is free of wood packing. However, this alone may not
relieve shipments from inspection.
Our airfreight
department is already fully conversant with
the new rulings and are members of the "UK WMP" and our name
appears on their website as approved packers.
These
are standard regulations available on government internet
for customers/shippers doing business to the USA, but are
attached herewith for
your convenience.
